Run explores stunning Bay
Courier company Aramex New Zealand is set to return as naming partner of the Kiwi Walk & Run Wilderness Series, which includes Paihia this month.
Aramex is encouraging Kiwis to join it to explore their own backyard alongside their friends, family, and wider community. With plans in place to ensure the event can run under the Covid-19 red light settings, the 2022 Aramex Kiwi Walk & Run Series will enable Kiwis to safely participate in all elements of the event without taking away any of the fun and epic experience. Ready to cheer and fuel the participants with a mix of classic Kiwi treats including jaffas, pineapple lumps and jet planes, Aramex regional franchisees, and other staff from across the courier network will be manning the pit stops throughout the different course locations.
Aramex Northland regional franchisees Stuart and Carole Spittle, servicing the Northland and Far North Regions from Wellsford to North Cape, will be working with their staff to support the Aramex Kiwi Walk & Run Series.
They are looking forward to attending the event and backing their local community.
‘‘Both of us and our staff are very excited to be joining the greater Aramex team, our family, friends and customers at the Aramex Kiwi Walk Run event in Paihia to give back to all of those that have supported our company,’’ said Stuart and Carole Spittle.
The April 23 run explores the stunning Bay of Islands with a scenic loop showcasing some of the best bits of the region.
Starting and finishing in Paihia, the Full Circle Trail takes you the 17km full circle loop through Opua, Okiato, Russell and all the way back to Paihia.
The course includes two ferry rides which are included in your event entry cost.
There is a shorter 6.5km option. This skirts around the Paihia coastline and the terrain includes beach and forest trails.
