Swim Leg Sponsor – 2XU
2XU engineer products with the single minded goal of best equipping the athlete, so they feel more prepared, more lethal, more capable than anyone. As they put on the technologically sophisticated garments over their bodies they also put on an attitude, to be more than they ever have been, to perform beyond expectation.
With 2XU technology a piece of the finely balanced equation is in place to multiply human performance. This technology marks the beginning of a new era in sporting equipment. Our garments use intelligent physiological design, cutting edge performance fabrics and construction, derived from a race bred pedigree.
From the elite athlete driving their body to its limits, to the driven business person, and everyone in between, we provide the equipment you need to magnify your natural ability. We harness every part of your genetic composition and cloak you in a layer of performance. Every product is designed and re-designed for tangible benefit.
Cycle Leg Sponsors – Burke Cycles
Since the 1920′s the family business known then as Burke Bros has been active in the Wellington bicycle trade. In those days we sold famous brands such as Rudge, Raleigh, Humber, Claude Butler, Empire and Chase.
Now more than 80 years on, seeing many changes along the way, the Burke family still own and operate Wellington’s premier bicycle store. Burkes Cycles was also presented with the Best Bike Shop award in 1999 as judged by the Bicycle Industry Association of New Zealand.
In late 1998 they went through a major expansion to create the store they now operate from. They now have 4000sqr ft of modern retail and workshop space. This has enabled Burkes to offer one of the largest inventory of bikes and accessories in Wellington. Their vast resources also allow them to obtain almost anything for your cycling needs.
The team at Burkes Cycles works hard to be your first choice for bicycles, clothing and accessories. Their staff are passionate about cycling and use the equipment they sell so you can be better informed when it comes to making a buying decision.
Their Bike Technicians, in their fully equipped workshop, can service most bicycles from a scooter for a 3 year old to high-end road or mountain bikes. Suspension fork and shock services, custom wheel builds, custom bike builds and general services are some of the tasks performed by their highly skilled team of Shimano certified technicians.
Burkes Cycles Online, their e-commerce store, also gives you the added convenience of connecting with them even after regular store hours. Shop at your leisure or compare products in the comfort of your own home or office. If the item you are after is not listed then send Burkes an email and, if available, they will provide a quote and supply if required.
Pete & the Team from Burkes hope to see you in person in our store sometime soon.

Eastern Suburbs Sports Trust
HISTORY
Brian Galt is the owner of Pak’n Save Kilbirnie & previously owned both New World Miramar & Kilbirnie. He was in the United States in 1996 where a local supermarket was giving 2 cents from the sale of a can of baked beans to help build a local hospital. The 2 cents was funded by the supplier and leveraged through the business done with the particular store.
He decided he could use this concept to help raise funds for his interest, which is sport. The Eastern Suburbs Sports Trust was established with Brian personally investing a considerable amount of money in legal fees to get the trust set up properly and this enabled it to be granted Charitable Status by the Inland Revenue Department.
OBJECTIVE OF THE TRUST
The objective of the Eastern Suburbs Sports Trust is to promote, assist, support and encourage participation and expertise in all forms or amateur sport, both competitive and recreational, to help foster and encourage the development of primarily Junior Sports located in the Eastern Suburbs.
