7:30am start for those wanting to run for 2hrs

Bays 🤝 Night Ninja’s Long Run v2

Just like last time there are a few options to suit:

•Full Waiwera Loop - 30km
Start 7:00am

•Partial Waiwera Loop - 19km
Start 7:00am with the 30km group, then bus back to the start from the 19km mark.

•Estuary Laps - 8-16km
Start 8:00am. Perfect if you’d like a later start, 1-2 laps of the estuary.

We’ll all finish at Driftwood Cafe ☕️
