The Wellingtonian is to be a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to athletics and charitable causes in the New Year honours.
Moon, 51, started focussing on running in the early 1990s and won 21 New Zealand athletics titles over her career which ended in 2012.
She was twice the World Mountain Running champion in 2001 and 2003 and in 2020 was recognised by the World Mountain Running Association as the second-ranked female mountain runner of all time.
In 2010 she won the World Tower Running Championship and World Vertical Running Championship and in 2012 went even faster in the annual race up the 1576 stairs of Empire State Building in New York finishing the skyscraper run in 12 minutes and 39 seconds, 34 seconds faster than the last time she won in 2010.

One-hundred-and-fifty-four people from a variety of sectors including education, sport, health, and science have been honoured.
Arch Jelley s reaction to being made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) sums up the athletics super coach to a tee. “I was totally surprised and wondered who on earth could have nominated an 98-year-old coach who hasn’t been coaching runners for the past few years, but is now coaching bridge players,” the ever modest Jelley told
