What an incredible achievement by our Te Tohu o Te Ora o Ngāti Awa whānau who pushed beyond their comfort zones and conquered Iron Māori!
Iron Māori was created to uplift health and wellbeing, encouraging us to reconnect with our tinana, hinengaro, wairua, and whānau. Every participant showed what it means to embrace the wero, dig deep, and prove that anything is possible when you commit to the journey.
We are incredibly proud to have had 4 relay teams, 5 individual quarter runners, 1 individual half marathon runner and 2 participants complete the individual quarter event.
A special mihi to:
Teena, who smashed the Half Marathon and claimed 1st Female in her age division – an outstanding result!
Joseph, who tackled the Quarter Solo Run and placed 2nd in his age division – ka mau te wehi!
Jade & Fredom, who each completed the Individual Quarter in under 5 hours, proving that determination wins every time.
“Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini.”
