PNG Air Grand Prix Series

The series will see the best athletes in the country competing head to head for the first time since the PNG Air National Championships last December. 

Sponsored by PNG Air, the event will follow a similar format to the big international one day meetings where the best available athletes are invited to take part.

The grand prix is an elite level competition aimed principally at those athletes vying for places in teams to international events next year.

Some exciting competition is in prospect in Port Moresby in the men’s middle and long distance events.

The Kerowagi group, including George Yamak, Dilu Goiye, Aquila Turalom and Abel Siune, are expecting a strong challenge from Utmei-based Siune Kagl and Israel Takap as well as WNB based Andipas Georasi.

With Yamak recovering from a bout of sickness, Turalom dominated the trials, winning both the 1500m (4min 20secs) and 3000m (9min 29secs).
