The Wellsford Plunket Challenge has been postponed for the second time due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The obstacle course and mud-run fundraiser was due to take place on Sunday, October 4 at Action Matakana, but that date has now been moved back to Sunday, April 11 next year.

The new team event had originally been due to take place last April. Organiser Tania Hamilton says it is disappointing to have to postpone again, but urges registered participants to keep training and encourages new teams of four to come forward.
