The popular Round the Clock Race is as tough as it gets and competitors needed to be in top condition to conquer the steep terrain and icy river which make up the course leading to Alexandra’s iconic clock on the hill.

The annual The News Round the Clock Race in 2025 returned on the Friday night, after severe weather forced it's cancellation last year.

Hardy individuals and teams of runners lined up to tackle the climb to the Alexandra Clock, with tutus, high school track suits and bright colours the order of the day.
