The Northland Waste Kerikeri Half Marathon is back for 2023!
On Saturday 18th November, get your running shoes on and get stuck into the Northland Waste Kerikeri Half Marathon.
This Half Marathon is an iconic feature on the Northland events calendar. Starting in Okaihau the 21.1km course makes its way through rolling countryside to finish in the centre of town at the Kerikeri Domain. The race is largely downhill, so good for a PB, and perfect if you're new to running/ walking and ready to step up from a 5k or 10k to your first half.
You can make your run/walk count and support kiwis and their whanau living with cancer. Sign up below and make a difference today.

Ocean Flyer signs Seaglider MoU with Northport

Imagine riding to Auckland CBD in just over half an hour, on NZ water and through NZ air, powered by NZ wind and sunshine, with no potholes, road cones or landslides, and no four-laning or road maintenance needed. Compare that to a 3-hour ride in an obese diesel vehicle manufactured overseas, running on fossil fuel mined and refined overseas, with all the profits going overseas.
Whenever I read about new ways of transport, like sea gliders or wave skimmers, I remember that our own district council claimed during last year's consultation that there was "no evidence" of emerging alternative transport options, and that our only choice was building a larger airport. Yet the Ocean Flyer may already be up and running before council can even make a decision if, how and where to build that new airport.
It makes me so incredibly sad that we don't have a vision for a liveable future based on collective well-being within ecological limits in our district. All we are served is more of the same that hasn't been working for us, and we even voted for this (well, 40% of us did).
Sigh...
Great plants. $10 for the big one, $7 for the smaller ones.
My tv serial which is attached by a wire to my chimney by the look of it is lying sideways on my roof. Is there someone out there that could get it down for me please.
