AVOHK 40th Anniversary Club Relay
Central Waterfront / 25th February 2023
The AVOHK 40th Anniversary Club Relay was held at the Central Waterfront on 25th February 2023. The race was for teams of 3, running legs of 3 kilometres, out to the Exhibition Centre and back, starting and finishing at Pier 10.
The weather was very kind, providing excellent running conditions, blue skies, cool and sunny.
13 teams lined up on the start line.
The first leg set off at a hectic pace, led away by RetoMerazzi of the Shek O Friday Gang. He maintained the pace and brought his team home in the lead, closely followed by Richard Hall of Chair and Co with Pili Hu of the Three Amigos just one second behind. Peter Hopper belying his years brought The Double Century Club back in fourth place. Close behind Peter was Tasha of The Lady Makes Three, running the fastest leg of the day by a female.
The second leg saw George Gaffney extend the lead of the Shek O Friday Gang, behind them, Steve Hampson ran a stormer and brought The Double Century Club up into second place. The rest of the field worked hard and generally held onto their positions.
On the third leg, Marco Mueller, with the fastest leg of the race, brought the Shek O Friday Gang home in first place with a massive lead of over 6 minutes. Frank Reihm, running out of his skin, with the fourth fastest leg of the day moved The Lady Makes Three up into second place and the first Mixed team to finish. Back down the field, David Woo ran hard and fast to move his team, SP Hop, up to eighth place with the second fastest leg of the day. It was a close-run race to avoid the Wooden Spoon, traditionally awarded to the last team to finish, but despite Ho Hei Ng, Team 138, running his teams fastest leg of the day, he could not catch Charita Mahilhig of The Lost Hikers – 1, who also ran her teams fastest leg of the day, the fifth fastest female on the day.
It was great to see so many new faces at the race, enjoying the excitement of racing and socialising with other club members in an AVOHK event. Hopefully, we will see them all back again for the next AVOHK Club run.
The venue proved to be a perfect location for the race, especially with the added entertainment of the dance troupe and the yoga class, putting us all to shame with their degree of flexibility.
Many thanks to our helpers on the day, John Howes, Norman Hui, John Fowler and Fe Mondala.
The rule with prizes was that no one could win more than one prize, so anyone in the winning teams was not eligible for the Fastest Leg prizes.
Winning Male Team – The Shek O Friday Gang
Winning Mixed Team – The Lady Makes Three
Wooden Spoon – Team 138
Fastest Leg by a man (other than a team winner) – David Woo, SP Hop
Fastest Leg by a female (other than a team winner) – Elaine Hall, Chair and Co
Spot Prizes – 8th handover – Corinna Kit Mui Wong, Crazy Running Masters
18th handover – David Ng, Crazy Running Masters
28th handover – Frank Reihm, The Lady Makes Three
AVOHK 40th Anniversary Handicap Race, 29 October 2022
The AVOHK 40th Anniversary Club Handicap 5k race was held on Blacks Link at Wanchai Gap on Saturday, 29th October.
The weather was perfect for running with bright, sunny conditions.
The runners were handicapped based on their estimated time and the slowest runners estimated time for 5k. The course took the runners up Blacks Link for 2.5k when they performed a U-turn and headed back down to the Finish. John Fowler and David Wan led the race off followed by the rest of the field at set intervals finishing with David Woo and Vaibhav Bhoovarahan 22 minutes later. The race format is exciting for the runners, because after the U-turn everyone can see who is chasing them and who is in front to be chased.
Ideally all the runners should finish together, but on the day, runners can over or under perform so it is rare that the blanket finish ever occurs.
The race was won by Phil Booth, followed home by Catherine Leonard and Norman Hui in second and third respectively. Two runners, Chan Chak Yan and Chun Tak Wong both ran just 1 second off their predicted times.
Everyone enjoyed the event and looked resplendent in the 40th Anniversary t-shirt.

RESULTS: 2022 Malcolm Phillips Virtual Age-Graded 5K
Thank you to all of our runners who supported The Malcolm Phillips Age- Graded 5k recently. For the second time, the event was held as a virtual event on Bowen Road. After Malcolm’s brother, Graham, and his niece, Kathryn, took part in our 2021 event from England, we decided to include a special overseas category in this year’s race. It was lovely to see results being submitted from England, Spain and Japan. I would also like to thank all the race-walkers who once again supported the race. The race-walk times have been graded with the runners and included in the results below.
Congratulations to Belinda Greer and Frank McNamara who won the Ladies’ and Men’s categories in fantastic age-graded times of 20:36 and 16:31 respectively.
Our overseas category was won by Kathryn Taylor in England (20:39) and Juergen Wittsock in Japan (15:39).
Well done to everyone who participated. The full results are shown below. Prizes will be mailed to the top 3 men and ladies within the week and certificates and souvenirs will be sent to all finishers.
