All welcome! This is a lovely course on footpaths and rural roads through Wakefield and the surrounding countryside.
It can be very hot during this summer event and there's a real risk of overheating when you're out running or walking. Remember to hydrate well during the day, as well as before and during the event. There will be a water station at 2.5km and stations with water and cold flannels at 5km & the finish.
Waimea Harriers reserves the right to change or shorten the course, or change the time or even cancel the event depending on the weather conditions on the day.
Join us after the event for a drink and spot prizes of $200 in shopping vouchers and frozen chooks at the Wakefield Hotel.
Also check out other Workshops in Nelson.
