Welcome to another episode of Chafing the Dream with Mal and Dwayne the American Kiwi Running Duo.

This episode Dwayne and Mal do the usual update of training. More specifically Dwayne stacking some k's before his Run the Bay Marathon this upcoming weekend. Meanwhile Mal still recovering from her bone injury so keeping up with weight training and cycling.

We dive into the upcoming race this weekend Run the Bays. There are four distances available for folks a 6k, 8.7k, half marathon and marathon distance. All at the beautiful Bay of Islands. It is stunning course and the finish line vibes are HIGH!! We can't wait to cheer everyone and wish the best for all that are racing.

Next Dwayne and Mal reflect MCing for the Port Nikau Free Family Fun 5k event. It was a beautiful day for a 5k and great to see so many families out and about. Dwayne and Mal discuss the challenges of registration to race briefing but both felt really grateful to be representing His & Hers event.
