"It is a little bit slower than a lot of marathon courses, but I wouldn't change it for anything." Some 12,500 runners took on the various distances in for the sixth Queenstown International Marathon, sponsored by Air New Zealand. In the New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty Half Marathon, it was Daniel Balchin dominating an event he has now won three time in succession. Jess Kikstra (Christchurch) took her good form from the cross-country circuit to the half course today, running to victory in 1:26:18, despite just missing the race start.
