The Moa Experience was generously gifted to the Te Puke Harriers in 2021 to showcase the beautiful Summerhill and Papamoa Trails whilst encouraging participants and families to lead active lives.

After having to cancel the 2021 event due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the committee is no longer in a position where we can deliver participants the experience they deserve. Please understand that this was a difficult decision for us to make.

If you have registered for the 2021 or 2022 event, a refund will be issued over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
