Ure to Ward
2022-06-18 12:30 - 16:00 | Ward Domain, 7235 State Highway 1, Ward, Marlborough, New Zealand
An earlier start for this event (12.30 pm).
This will be the first time we have done this run.

All subject to change but Sat 18 June all interested runners/walkers to meet at Flaxbourne A&P Showgrounds at 12:30 ready for shuttle buses to transport all to the Ure Valley at 12.45. We have van seats for 20ish including drivers. If we get more than that then we will do more trips with the long runners heading off first.

This track is a Start to Finish run, so vans will shuttle to the start and will have multiple pick ups along the route depending on the distance you want to run. The shortest distance is 3.7km.

Run/walk will commence at 1.00pm. The event will follow a track with multiple creek crossings (bring your running gumboots or your best rock hopping if you want dry feet).

As said, the shortest run is 3.7km and is flat and fast apart from a sharp pinch of 200m at 3.5km.

The vans will do pick ups from this point as they will drive around via the roads to the top end of Pegioh Road.

From this point people can choose to do any distance they chose and flag down a van when they have had enough, but this is a beautiful course and expect most will not be picked up before 6 to 8km including the walkers. The full course runs back to Ward and State Highway One and is 22km with a little undulation.

We are still working a plan to have a social time back at the A&P Showgrounds with a BBQ.

A Grand Old Duke of York course(i.e when you are up, you are up and when you are down, you are down) but finishing flat and fast depending on your selected course. Superb views that very few will have seen before. Courses are planned for Walkers (5 – 6 KM) and 3 runner courses. 5 -6 km, 8ish Km and an outstanding 10ish KM. Come along and there is a strong possibility of a pit stop at the Grovetown Tavern on the way home for a lemonade.

Directions
from SH 1 at Tuamarina Historic Rest Area (The Wairau Incident) turn onto Bush Road heading West. At the first T intersection turn right onto Parkes Road. At the End of Parkes Road stop at the sign “Windermere Equestrian”. From here we will go over private land in convoy. The Convoy will leave Parkes Road at 1PM sharp!
