What's new this year?
This year, we conducted an online survey. We listened, and have some exciting changes for this year's event! These include a BRAND NEW RACE (the duathlon), a new 5km course, reversal of some routes, medals for every participant... and spot prizes are back! We have also reassessed our prize giving format, and will be running one prize giving, to ensure we have a buzzing atmosphere right up until the last race. To say we are excited about these changes in an understatement!

Can I bring my dog to walk or run with me?
As this is a working farm it is strictly NO DOGS at this event. Please leave your dog at home - do not leave dogs tied up in the carpark or in cars. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Where abouts is the event held?
Check out the location page - the event will also be signposted from the main rd and if you follow Longbeach road towards the sea you really can not miss it!

Can my under 5 year old enter the 5km Fun Run/Walk?
There is no minimum age for 5km fun run/walk. If your child is capable of walking/running then please register them and they will get a race number, a sausage sizzle and a bottle of Pump. If your child is in a buggy or will be carried they are free and just bring them along (they will not receive a race number or sausage). All children under 5 MUST be accompanied by an adult.
Who organises this event and where do the profits go?
This event is fully run by volunteers from Longbeach School and the Hinds and Districts Lions. ALL profits are 50/50 split between these organisations to support the local community and youth in Mid Canterbury. The Hinds and District Lions also donate a portion of their profits to the Maia Health Foundation.
Will I be able to use EFTPOS on site?
Sorry - as mobile signals are poor on the site EFTPOS will not be available.
What do I receive when I cross the line?
All competitors who complete their chosen race will each recevie a finishers medal, and their choice of a delicious steak sandwich or a sausage in bread. We have prize money up for grabs for each senior category, spot prizes, and new registration packs filled with some exciting pieces from our sponsors- you will receive these registration packs on the collection of your race number!
