Dwight Grieve - World Mountain Running Championships 2018 - Andorra

Recently Fiordland and Southland runner Dwight Grieve managed the honor of being selected by Athletics New Zealand for the New Zealand team to compete at The World Mountain Running Champs in Andorra on the 16th September 2018.

Dwight is an enthusiastic runner that wears the Fiordland and Southland singlet with pride – where ever he goes people know he is there and where he comes from.

The cost of the event itself is estimated by Athletics NZ at $6000 and on top of that general costs for training etc that will be close to $1000 – Dwight trains about 95-110km per week, shoes @ $230 - $250 a pair last about 500 – 600km

This page is to ask for some help to make the trip less of a burden on Dwight and his family, they have made the decision to up their mortgage to make sure this dream opportunity is not missed, but Dwight doesn’t want to work until 70, apparently many drivers on the Milford Road would also like him to move on sooner than later LOL – for those scratching their heads Dwight is also a local Policeman based in Te Anau and often appears on the TVNZ programme Highway Cops.

Dwight also wishes this to be a hand up and not a hand out – anyone at all that wishes to have a go at athletics or even fitness for life or base training for any other sport, please contact him or the Fiordland athletics club, he is more than happy to help out as he can.

Any support is appreciated – thank you
