Meet Toni Taufale and the Girls Underneath Run Club

Toni Taufale has done Southern Cross Round the Bays "too many times to count". At least 10, she reckons, and around 2008 one of them landed her on the front page of The Dominion Post. These days she's bringing a whole run club.

Toni Taufale from Girls Underneath Run Club, Round the Bays Wellington ambassador

We put these questions to her:

Why I'm in: A group of close friends started a run club and we are now taking on all our hometown runs. Excited to support RTB and our community!

Who I'm doing it with: Girls Underneath Run Club.

My race-day kit: It will be matching, that's for sure.

My tip if you're keen but nervous: We are all in it together! It's just one foot in front of the other. Find us at the start line!

My legendary moment: I made the front page of The Dominion Post circa 2008.
