Our club is lucky enough to have been gifted a beautifully framed piece of New Zealand and International sporting memorabilia to auction in order to support our amazing babysitting service which enables parents to run while their children are looked after.

Anne Audain, a member of our club, has very generously donated us her gold medal winning, 1982 Commonwealth Games, 3000m race bib.

It was only days before the event that she was allowed to compete after winning prize money in an event in the States resulting in a ban from the Games by the NZ Amateur Athletics Association.

Following this win she went on to become the first female professional road runner with Nike sponsorship. She most certainly paved the way for the future of women in sport, especially for those wanting to compete at an elite level.

Anne would love for us to be able to raise $30,000 NZ to cover the cost of babysitting for four years. If you are interested in making an offer on this very special piece of sporting history please get in touch by email at mountrunnersandwalkers@gmail.com
