Mayor part of Nelson quartet to run in the New York City Marathon

Forty years after he won the New York City Marathon, Nelson-born runner Rod Dixon is back in his hometown with fellow running legend Lorraine Moller to help four Nelsonians, including Mayor Nick Smith, prepare for the largest marathon in the world.

In turn, Mayor Nick, along with Tāhunanui School Principal Barbara Bowen, Saint Paul's Catholic School Board Chair Lester Binns and Top South Media Managing Director Andrew Board aim to raise funds for Rod Dixon’s KiDSMARATHON, for the delivery of the programme in Nelson-Tasman schools.
