Join for this fantastic opportunity to be part of this great event to walk or run our beautiful coastline.
The Coastal Challenge course is from Arkles Bay to Devonport, completely along the North Shore Coastline. There are a number of events you can take on: Walk or run 6km, 11km or 17km. Run 22km or the full 33km – or create a relay team for the 33km. All events finish at Windsor Reserve in Devonport
Nick Carroll, total sport says the main reasons this event is so memorable and attracts so many people is “the beautiful scenery long the coastline, and the fact that it’s not just an average run. For some of the longer legs, you will scramble around rocks, wade through the odd estuary and generally just get your feet wet along the way. For the shorter legs, you just enjoy the scenery”
Hospice North Shore are the official charity partner for the event and we are hoping to raise $10,000 to support people on the North Shore who are living with an incurable disease , and their families.
The Coastal Challenge will donate $5 from every entrant’s fee to Hospice North Shore.
Hospice North Shore has put a together the “Hospice Hobblers” who will be participating in the 33km Relay and are raising funds through fundraiseonline.co.nz to support their patients.
The Warehouse Glenfield, Westpac Lake Road and Pak n Save Albany have also put in teams to raise funds for Hospice North Shore. Stephen Hamlin, Manager Westpac said “this has proved to be a great team building exercise. We are enjoying the camaraderie within the team and our customers think what we are doing is fantastic. We are delighted to be able to use the opportunity to raise funds for such a worthy cause.”
