Kaiwaka’s Top of the Rock event returns this year for an eighth time and organiser Cheryl Anderson is hoping for record participation.
The event offers a range of courses and will start from the Kaiwaka Sports Complex on Sunday, February 11 at 8.30am.
“We had over 400 people compete last year and the numbers have gone up every time, so I’m hoping to see more this year,” Cheryl says.
“There is a great range of courses to suit everyone and people will get the chance to get to the summit of Baldrock Mountain.
“Last year, we had every age from pre-school children up to our oldest competitor, a 77-year-old.”
For those wanting to do an easier route there is a 5km walk, 10km mountain bike and a fun bike course for kids under 10.
The tougher events are an 11km run, 10km run, a 15km mountain bike combo and a 30km mountain bike race.
On the day, there will also be live music, bouncy castles, a swimming pool and prize giving following the sports activities.
Entries must be in by February 9. Forms are available at kaiwakasports.co.nz
