• The Pouto Lighthouse Challenge features a course that begins at Pouto Point, extends to Pouto Lighthouse, and returns along the same route. The event involves running, walking, or biking along the beach, offering a scenic yet challenging terrain.

• Participants looking for a more rigorous challenge can opt for the “Warrior Challenge” Duathlon. This category combines a bike ride with a run or walk, which includes navigating through dunes, doubling the endurance required.

• The event serves a charitable cause, with proceeds supporting the Cancer Society Northland. This organization provides assistance to families in Northland affected by cancer.

• The route and event setup provide a unique opportunity to experience the coastal landscape and contribute to a community cause.
