Taupō Harriers Summer 5K Series 4

The course for this event features a scenic out-and-back loop along the Great Lake Pathway, also known as Lions Walk, which extends to 2 Mile Bay. This pathway is known for its picturesque views along the lakeside, providing participants a refreshing and visually appealing route. The race begins and concludes at Wharewaka Point, a popular spot that offers ample space for gathering and post-race activities.

In addition to the main 5K, there is a shorter race designed specifically for children. This 1.5K kids’ race consists of two laps around Wharewaka Point, allowing for a safe and manageable course for younger participants.

The event is characterized by its community atmosphere, as it brings together local runners and walkers of all ages. The series, held fortnightly on Wednesday evenings, helps maintain a regular engagement within the community, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and ongoing participation in the sport.
