On Friday 3rd May, the Tall Poppies went to Rotorua to run the Mini Marathon.

To take part in the Mini Marathon, we had to run a total of 40 kms over a period of time. At the event we did the last 2 km of the Rotorua Marathon.

The run was part of our training for school Cross Country and was enjoyed by many of us. We decided to ask some of the runners what they thought about the Mini Marathon:

Lucas: I enjoyed the run as it was a nice run and I liked the fruit nuggets at the end!

Luke: It was enjoyable to complete it and have the privilege to go.

Dylan: I liked it because we can race and it is good fitness.
