Sanctuary Gut Buster
The Combined Rotary Clubs of Wellington, in conjunction with Wellington Harriers, are organising a "round the fence" run to help raise funds for the Combined Rotary Centennial Project - the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary Discovery Area.The run - called the Sanctuary Gut Buster - will be on Sunday 9 May 2004, starting at 9.00am from Appleton Park and proceeding around the outside of the Sanctuary's perimeter fence before finishing back at Appleton Park. The final course details will be available shortly.
Parts of the fence line are rather steep, so the run is really aimed at medium to experienced runners. For safety reasons bikes, mountain buggies and dogs on a leash will not be permitted during the event.
Check out the Sanctuary Gut Buster website for further details.
You can also register for this challenging event by contacting the Wellington Harriers on 04 389 8615.
