The race
This event features an evening fun run and walk designed to raise funds for those affected by multiple sclerosis in the Hawkes Bay region. Participants will begin at the Napier Soundshell, which serves as a vibrant community hub.
The course offers a variety of options, including a scenic 5km route along the Rotary Pathway, known for its picturesque views. An alternative 5km route traverses Bluff Hill, incorporating some stair sections that provide a unique challenge and rewarding vistas. For those seeking a more demanding experience, the 10km “Gut Buster” challenge includes the varied terrain of Bluff and Hospital Hills, appealing to seasoned runners.
Community involvement is emphasized through a team category in the “Gut Buster,” where schools, gyms, and businesses can enter teams to compete based on the combined times of their three fastest participants. This aspect fosters camaraderie and encourages local engagement in support of a meaningful cause. The atmosphere is likely to be lively, with participants uniting for a shared purpose while enjoying the evening setting.
