The Kaiwaka Sports Association committee has decided to press ahead with organising the Top of the Rock fun run despite uncertainty about Covid-19 restrictions in Northland.
President Evan Wright says the committee hopes to hold the event on Sunday, March 13, giving runners plenty of notice to get training.
To keep things simple, the format will be the same as last year with just a run and walk race, and no cycling component. The course will also be the same with options for a 5km and 10km walk or run.
Wright stresses that the event will be dependent on the restrictions of the day, but he is optimistic something will be worked out.
“We think that people need something to look forward to, so we are going to give it a crack,” he says.
If outdoor sport events are still restricted to 100 people in Northland, the race may have to be done in split starts.
The Government is reviewing Northland’s restriction level on January 17 and may allow for larger numbers at events by the time Top of the Rock is held.
Last year, Top of the Rock had 150 entrants, which was down from its pre-covid peak of 300.
