Hampton Downs 2 Hour Racetrack Fun Run - Sunday 29th August
After a couple of postponements, it's time to put on those running shoes and take up the opportunity to compete in the 2 Hour Racetrack Run on Sunday 29th August at the Hampton Downs Raceway.
Hampton Downs, who are long term supporters of the John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation are hosting the event which is open to all ages and fitness levels for runners and walkers, and provides such a unique opportunity to challenge yourself on the 2.7 km motor sport racetrack.
The event is supporting the Foundation as the chosen charity and will be loads of fun!
The 2 Hour Racetrack Run will start at 9.30 am and finish at 11.30 am. The idea is to run as many laps of the 2.7 km National Track at Hampton Downs as you can in two hours. To check out all the details and register hit the link.
Afterwards you can hang around and catch all the action from the Auto Addict car enthusiasts event and car show. What a day!
So grab you shoes and a couple of family members or friends and have a fun time.
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
