The weather gods came to the party with a perfect day for the Queenstown International Marathon on Saturday. Although he was unsure if he would be living in Queenstown in a year’s time, the marathon was "certainly worth coming back for". His employer, Skydive Paradise, was giving a free skydive to the Givealittle donor who got closest to picking his finishing time. He expected to name the winner, and add up the money raised for Happiness House, in the next couple of days. The money was raised from a portion of entry fees and runners’ donations.
