Congratulations to Victoria Taylor who completed her run the length of New Zealand at 8.05pm on Thursday taking 34 days to cover the distance from Cape Reinga to Bluff. The Lower Hutt 19 year old set a new womenââ¬â¢s record, bettering Lisa Tamatiââ¬â¢s 43 days. Victoria was the first to run on a treadmill on the ferry across Cook Strait and the first to run part of Stewart Island. Her goal was to raise $1000 for Child Cancer and she raised $15,284 on the journey.
