The Foxton Beach Fun Run, Footprints In The Sand, will take place on 2 March 2025. Organized by the Foxton Lions Club, this annual event begins at the Foxton Beach Surf Club. Participants can choose from multiple events, including options for varying fitness levels.
The courses feature scenic coastal routes, with the longer routes extending along the beach towards Himatangi. The 5km event offers a unique experience as it heads south along the beach before turning up the estuary. Each course is designed as an out-and-back format, with marshals stationed throughout to ensure participant safety and guidance.
This event not only promotes physical activity but also fosters community engagement. Post-race activities are typically available, offering participants a chance to gather and celebrate their achievements while enjoying the coastal atmosphere. The event highlights Foxton Beach’s scenic environment and serves as a platform for local community involvement.
