Through Hagley Park at 19k Smith put some mild pressure on Woolhouse, who was forced to let go and by halfway 69min 22secs Smith has a 15sec lead, with Hurring, Dravitzki and Geleta 80secs back.

| The Lydiard Legend Marathon | New Zealand | Auckland | Marathon | September | "He has been the acknowledged world-leading middle and distance coach for the past half-century since his personal team of five unknown New Zealand runners swept up two gold medals and a bronze at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. His revolutionary marathon-type endurance training system, which hones athletes to their peak performance on the days they most want to be at those peaks, turned traditional training methods upside down. The next few years after Rome confirmed the system’s perfection as his runners, most from a small area around his Auckland home, dominated national and international racing, set world records and featured in world and Olympic championships." | ||
