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.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
