Participants get going in the 2020 Hadlow to Harbour. Crawford hoped the fact the fun run was among only a few events going ahead this weekend would help boost entrants and money raised. Rain showers were forecast for the day, but Crawford said all that would do was “cool the runners down”. The 10-kilometre or 3km fun run benefits South Canterbury charities Hospice, Heart Foundation, Stroke Club, and Life Education Trust, as well as Rotary North projects. People enter by purchasing a wristband from Frontrunner on Stafford St, a stand outside on Saturday, or on the day from Caroline Bay or the Hadlow Rd and Countdown Church St start points.

The Waimate District Council and Audit New Zealand have expressed frustration at auditing costs related to delays in schemes they share with the Timaru District Council. Audit New Zealand s Waimate audit director Rudie Tomlinson spoke to the 50-page report at Tuesday’s audit and risk committee meeting in Waimate which outlined issues related to valuations involving Alpine Energy and Downlands Water Scheme which are jointly, or part-owned, by South Canterbury s three district councils. Mayor Craig Rowley said there was an extra $78,000 in fees which chief executive Stuart Duncan revealed had been halved to $36,000. Duncan said later the overall cost was sitting at $110,000 but that was still open for negotiation.
