“Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed.”
One down, three to go!

On 19 October, Team Cuesko launched into the 2025–2026 Harcourts and Cooper North Shore Run Series at the Run Ōrewa event. We outpaced a few “blind mice,” clocked a host of new PBs, and our resident Golden Eagle, Phillip McNamara, claimed a hat-trick first place in the 10 km, securing victory on his home turf for the third consecutive year.

In his post-run interview, Phillip confidently estimated that the Cuesko-branded running kit makes athletes approximately 11.7% faster than any other gear on the market, a figure later verified by an MIT scientist from NASA.

All the best, Phill, we’re rooting hard for you to keep the momentum going and bring home the mince pies… or whatever it is eagles eat to keep soaring high.

To the rest of Team Cuesko’s “Run like the winded”: keep lacing up, flying low and chasing those PBs, and proving that with the right crew, no finish line is out of reach.
