Despite a postponement and uncertainty around Covid alert levels, 1600 participants from all walks of life took part in the popular Chilltech Beach to Basin fun run/walk in Whangārei.
A slightly nippy morning did not deter young and old to flock to the Town Basin yesterday and it wasn t long before they broke a sweat as the sun came beating down.
Event lead Jesse Gavin said there had been 200 withdrawals but 1600 was a great turnout, even though organisers has anticipated more than 2000 competitors.
