Running and walking in marlborough!

Pack run

Para Swamp Run

by

Change of Venue for Saturday 30 Apr 2022

Due to a Calendar clash this weekend (30 Apr 22) with the Marlborough Car Club, who have a gravel sprint planned up the Pukaka Valley Road (Road will be intermittently closed throughout the day) we have gone with a swap on the Harriers Calendar with the Para Swamp Run.

 

Para Swamp Run.

This is the reason to come and run with the Harriers Club as we get access to private land on which to run events.  Come along to this run and bring your camera.  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! Any car will be fine to get to the start.

 

See Ya There
