Over the past weekend teams from across the country converged on the University of Otago oval in Dunedin for the Lovelock Relays.
A major part of the event's legend was a record in the six-man 1500m senior men's race, which had been unbroken since 1972.
Had is the key word there, because on Saturday a team from the Whippets running club finally broke the record.
The previous team did it in 24 minutes, 12.6 seconds, while the Whippets took just 23 minutes and 53 seconds.
