10km Road Run Best Performances/Records
The 10km Road Run is a common event in the road season, contested by most centres and by the men at ANZ Road Champs. (For some reason, the masters women only run 5km at ANZ Road Champs.)
Obtaining course certification is often a challenge to records being accepted and the separation of the ANZ and NZMA membership prior to 2017 does mean there have been many historically superior performances not eligible for records. The quality of the records will improve over future years as a result of the ANZ-NZMA shared membership agreement.
Note: Athletes move. Wellington records applicable to athletes registered to Wellington at time of performance. Island championship records applicable to athletes registered to that island at time of performance. NZ records applicable to athletes registered appropriately to NZMA at time of performance. Oceania championship records applicable to athletes registered to OMA at time of performance. World records quote national affiliation of athlete at time of performance.
Prior to the September 2016 agreement on shared membership between Athletics New Zealand and New Zealand Masters Athletics, only those masters athletes who had joined NZMA were eligible to claim records. Now domestic Masters Records can be claimed by both ANZ and NZMA members.
