13 SCHOOLS JOIN HOWICK ROTARY CLUB FUN WALK AND RUN

Thirteen primary and intermediate schools join the Sunday Fun Walk and Run. Over 200 registered online and another 130 on the day’s registration. Additionally, 100 teachers and parents participated in the event. Numbers competing the course exceeded 600.
 
Primary school students ran and walked the 5.9k course. Intermediate students completed the 6.9km course. There was also an 8.1km extended course for those who wished for a harder challenge.
 
The Fun and Walk Run is a family-centric event.
 
There were over $3000 worth of prizes provided by local businesses.
 
Students were awarded medals for completing the race. Cups were presented to the first team of four runners, from Primary and Intermediate schools, to cross the finish line. Shelly Park and Farm Cove won the Primary and Intermediate School Cup, respectively.
 
All funds raised from the Howick Fun Walk and Run were donated to the Howick Coastguard.
