Mac's Gold Abel Tasman Coastal Classic 2003
Race Results

Results from other years are here!

The 'Coastal Classic', over the years has attracted many well known names, both national and international. There's been politicians, authors, triathletes and swimmers. Known not for their running prowess but as achievers in other fields this year's entry list included a former Olympic cyclist, a climber of Mt Everest, an world record holder for age group 100km indoor rowing, as well as world champion age group mountain running champion and world ranked orienteer.

As described by a veteran of the event "this race is special, there's not another like it in this country, perhaps in the world. Beautiful shady bush, native bird-song, glimpses of pristine golden beaches and off-shore islands, undulating terrain that commands constant vigilance, and the scenic boat trip back that allows time for reflection".

Saturday's tenth anniversary of the Mac's Gold Abel Tasman Coastal Classic certainly lived up to it's reputation as the country's premier trailrunning event. Conditions couldn't have been more perfect, clear skies, calm seas and a 33km run from Marahau to Awaroa with terrain to test the best.

Canterbury's Carsten Jorgensen and Wellington's Carline Macdonald were form favourites and both lived up to their reputations by taking their respective Mens and Womens titles, Macdonald also having the satisfaction of setting a new women's 40-49yrs age group record.
