Di’s Expereience at the Great Wall of China Half Marathon

16 May 2018 and Janne posts this on the Qwik Kiwi House FB page “Finally had the go-ahead from Ray who said to “Dream big and live the dream”.  Suzy Monds’ inspirational story and my success running the Rotorua marathon last week have confirmed my ambition now to conquer The Great Wall of China full marathon.  My challenge to all Qwik Kiwi team members is to join me for the full, half, or 8.5km fun run on 3rd weekend in May next year.  Di, you’re always encouraging me – how about it?  For the full there are 5164 steps so it is brutal but the harder the challenge the bigger the reward eh?  Would love to share it with as many of the team as possible – maybe Ray could be encouraged to do it too?  Makes it more fun to do the hard yards with people you know and then celebrate success together.  Marathon Events travel organise everything from visa to flights, accommodation, a bus trip a couple of days prior to view the course, and western style food prior to the race so no upset tums”.
