Brookes’ Dublin race
A Christchurch marathon runner will be running a marathon this Sunday, but it vVill be on the opposite side of the world to Christchurch, where the Nike City of Christchurch marathon is being held. Frank Brookes, who runs for the Toe H club, was second in the Nike marathon last year, but is giving it a. “miss” this year in favour of the Irish national championships in Dublin because of
sponsorship he has received from Adidas New Zealand. ; He has a best marathon time of 2hrs 19mins, and hopes to improve on that at Dublin and has been clocking up big mileage in training in the last few months. He has also been performing well in road races and qualified to compete with the Canterbury team on the United States road circuit, but withdrew in favour of the Dublin marathon.
