Merrell The Mo Men of Middlepark are back for 2021!Each November staff at the college grow a moustache and complete a challenging run as a team to promote the importance of supporting your mates through challenging times.This year two teams take on an Ultra Marathon around Christchurch and the Port Hills. 21km each runner will take the teams from STC to the Port Hills and over to Tai Tapu. The Academic Team of Mr Crosson, Mr Ryan, Mr Barclay and Mr Smith will race against the Physical Educators Team of Mr Tennent, Mr Lange, Mr Coulthard and Mr Leader.

This year we know there are financial pressures for many in our school community so we won't be raising funds, instead, we hope that this event generates some discussion and some action for our boys and their whanau to support each other when the going gets tough.

The Merrell NZ Mo Men teams finished their 84km run only 4 minutes apart. 

Well done to Mr Crosson, Mr Ryan, Mr Barclay and Mr Smith as the successful Academic team. 

Thanks to all who tuned in today and to CookieTime for keeping us fueled. Special mention to support driver Marty Taylor who kept the teams going the whole day!
