Reporter Sophie Cornish spoke to some of the people who have entered the fun run Karen Young – This year’s City2Surf will be the first ever running event Mrs Young has participated in. In June last year, she joined the Energise Health and Fitness running club and has been training for the 6km event through a 12-week Karen Young programme. Mrs Young runs with her club once a week while trying to fit in her own training. “I think it will be achievable (the 6km),” she said. Mark Winsley, 49 – Mr Winsley has tackled the 14km City2Surf event before, but this year he will run the 6km. That’s because his nine-year-old son, Felix, will be running with him, along with his partner, Janelle Clark. The father and son have been “hiking around the hills and jogging around the parks” to prepare for the event. Felix is not a novice when it comes Mark Winsley to running events, having participated in the Kids’ Mara’Fun race before, which is part of the Christchurch Marathon. “I took my neighbours son to do it (City2Surf) a few years ago – he was a bit older. Felix watched it and said I’m going do that papa,” said Mr Winsley. The pair have been training two to three times a week. Their training includes a hike in the weekend and a couple of runs accompanied by “kicking the ball around and playing cricket,” said Mr Winsley.

Back in October, the pair ran in the Pegasus Fun Run 6km event and hope to run the 10km event at the Christchurch Marathon in June. They are both driven by the hope that one day they might have grandchildren, who they would like to be fit and healthy for. “It’s more about getting out there and enjoying it. I am really looking forward to spending some time with my brother, it’s good to hang out,” Mrs Penn.
