Saturday 24 April my Rotary club held their first fun run and walk on the Rotary pathway starting at River Road outside Havelock North. It dawned a gorgeous day, as the engineer got up before 6am to join the set up crew from the club. I got there at 8.30am, excited to see quite alot of people there to participate. I convinced my daughter Kate and grand daughters Tia and Maddi to join me on the walk. As Maddi is only 8, we didn’t expect her to walk more than a few kilometers. She managed 6!

A great day for a walk.

Altogether there were 154 registrations, mostly women. As the weather was perfect, it was a great experience for everyone. My daughter had not been on the Rotary pathway before and she was delighted to find such a great place to walk the dog. As you will see from the photos, many of the walkers bought their dogs along.

It was a hot day for a walk!

 The Mayor started the walkers off at 9am, while the 20 runners began at 10 am. Most of the participants completed the 15 kilometers to Blackbridge and back, some for the very first time.  MP Craig Foss, who also walked with his daughter Sophie, presented the major prizes at noon. There was a remarkable selection a spot prizes for all the participants to have a chance to win, with a few major prizes, including 2 bikes, from local businesses.

Only way to go!
