Blair Stuart Telford (born 7 December 1965) is a New Zealand former bobsledder, surf lifesaver and police officer.
[3] He was educated at Spotswood College in New Plymouth, where he was senior boys' athletics champion in 1982 and 1983, and was also active in volleyball, cross country running and rugby union.
[11] It was reported that "Telford's tenacity exemplified the enthusiasm and determination of the World team, despite their lack of experience in Australian conditions".
[7] The New Zealand Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association was only formed earlier in 1987, and most of the team members had never been in a sled before they assembled for training in Calgary, Canada, in October that year.
[17] In the four-man bobsleigh, the New Zealand team of Lex Peterson, Telford, Rhys Dacre and Peter Henry finished 21st overall.
[18] Later in 1988, Telford was brakeman with Darryl Fergus as driver in one of New Zealand's three two-man bobs at the Calgary World Cup event, finishing 18th out of 25 sleds.
[28] In summer 2016–2017, Telford completed Te Araroa, a long-distance tramping trail that runs the length of New Zealand, covering the 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) in 107 days.
