The inaugural Roberts Trophy running race for primary school aged children was held at Highfield Garden Reserve, Algies Bay, recently.
The winner was Giselle Grimmer of Snells Beach. As well as running races, there were novelty races for the whole family, donkey rides and a sausage sizzle. The trophy was made from totara by park volunteer Peter Caccia-Birch and inscribed by Steve Cleverly.
The fun family day was sponsored by Auckland Council and the Highfield Donkey Association. The trophy running race will be held annually in conjunction with the Christmas Highfield get-together. Pictured at the presentation are Peter Caccia-Birch and Giselle Grimmer.
