Silverstream Spin 2025 – Rain

Putting on events in Dunedin in October is always a throw of the dice! Just last week we had snow to 100m one day and 22 degrees another day.

Silverstream Spin 2024 Wrap Up

48 people turned up to enjoy the 4th edition of the Silverstream Spin. It has been suggested we rename it to ‘Mud, Sweat and Tears’ but that might have been taken… it’s still appropriate.

Silverstream Spin 2023

At least 57 runners participated in the 3rd edition of the Silverstream Spin on Oct 7th. Robert Soper took out the win by rolling a 1, then a 1, then a 1!

Steve won the Innovation in Sport award at the Otago Sport Awards 2023. Here’s the speech… …. Thanks to Otago Sports Awards. Thanks also to University of Otago. I never expected this.
