The day was clear and still with bright sunshine, a whole world away from the windy storms I had experienced while training for this race in Wellington. I was happy the weather was on our side even if it was a lowly 9 degrees on the start line. communitygroups Mon, 26 Jun 2017 10:25:43 GMT http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/2017/6/25/letha-whitham Wellington Sakai Association 2017-06-26T10:25:43Z http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/kosuke-hamada Kosuke Hamada-san is the second runner to represent Sakai at the at the Wellington Marathon, came sixth and he did a great job promoting our sister city as well as the 泉州国際市民マラソン (Senshu International City Marathon). communitygroups Mon, 19 Jun 2017 21:24:22 GMT http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/kosuke-hamada Wellington Sakai Association 2017-06-19T21:24:22Z http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/2016/10/2/wellington-sakai-association-events-2015-16-executive-year A recap of WSA activities for 2015-2016 events communitygroups Mon, 03 Oct 2016 01:41:39 GMT http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/2016/10/2/wellington-sakai-association-events-2015-16-executive-year Wellington Sakai Association 2016-10-03T01:41:39Z http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/2016/3/3/win-double-passes-to-japanese-drama-an-screening-wednesday-9-march-630pm WIN!

At the time I smiled and agreed but the competitor in me said otherwise, as far as I was concerned, it was “all about the Marathon”. In hindsight I was completely wrong. The Marathon is one of a multitude of different experiences and interactions within a culture that is so different to our own.  communitygroups Thu, 17 Sep 2015 07:03:00 GMT http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/2015/10/13/senshu-marathon-2015-report-andrew-wharton Wellington Sakai Association 2015-09-17T07:03:00Z http://www.wellingtonsakai.org/news/2015/10/13/sakai-wellington-association-20th-anniversary-newsletter-japanese-language Sakai City Council and Sakai Wellington Association prepared a newsletter about the sister city relationship to celebrate the 20th anniversary.
