The Nexans Fun Run/Walk Series will take place on 2 February 2025 at Eltham, located in the Taranaki region. This event is part of an annual summer series held in the New Plymouth area and is organized in support of the Rotokare Scenic Reserve Trust, which manages a community-led sanctuary that focuses on conservation.
Participants will navigate a course set within the scenic Rotokare Scenic Reserve, known for its lush forest and diverse wildlife, including endangered species such as tieke (saddleback), pateke (brown teal), hihi (stitchbird), and kiwi. This unique environment offers a chance to experience nature while engaging in physical activity.
As a pest-free sanctuary, specific guidelines must be followed. Dogs are not permitted, and participants are required to comply with biosecurity measures, including checking vehicles and bags for pests before entry. Additionally, this event operates without disposable cups; attendees should bring their own reusable water bottles.
Post-race amenities and activities have not been specified, but participants are encouraged to enjoy the natural surroundings of the reserve.
