An athlete's death has brought the Rotorua running community together for a Miler Memorial.
A Tarawera Ultramarathon competitor died in hospital earlier this month, three days after being brought to a medical facility near the finish line by event staff and medical personnel.
The Rotorua Trail Running Club hosted tonight's Memorial Miler Run to "acknowledge the passing" in the running community.
About 75 runners of all ages ran and walked a 40-minute loop from the Village Green [where the Ultramarathon finish line was] around Sulphur Point and back.
