Allison Roe

Allison Pamela Roe MBE (née Deed; born 30 May 1956) is a New Zealand politician and former long-distance athlete.

In Boston, she ran 2:26:46 to improve the course record by almost eight minutes, set the previous year by Jacqueline Gareau.

However, after re-measurement, the 1981 course was found to be 150 metres short, though Waitz's 1980 record is also disputed.

In the 1993 Queen's Birthday Honours, Roe was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for services to athletics.
