Porirua Grand Traverse attracts athletes and fun-runners

Porirua City Council

There are not many events around that have serious multisporting on the same card as a family-oriented fun run, but the Porirua Grand Traverse is one.

The event, being held on Sunday 7 April this year, attracts about 1000 entrants. The split is even – half join whānau, friends or workmates in the 9km fun run from Titahi Bay Beach and through Whitireia Park, while the rest enjoy a more serious day out, running, paddling and biking a challenging and scenic course.

Seasoned triathlete Deborah Lynch, a New Zealand representative, will be in the field for the 12km kayak, 28km mountain bike and 18km mountain run multisport event. There is also a duathlon (mountain bike and run – solo and teams) and you can do paddle, bike and run-only races if you prefer.

Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says the Grand Traverse shows off the city in a positive light and that “we are a healthy, adventurous and active city”.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Its a bit of a grey Sunday morning so a walk amongst the flowers is just what you need to brighten things up. It is also a perfect day for taking photographs of beautiful flowers. Dewdrops on the dahlias? There is so much to see at the moment so you are very welcome to visit and share the garden with us. This is our last open day until later in the year as we need to get busy bulb planting for our Spring displays. Hope to see you soon. Carolyn.
