2023 event – Saturday 19th August

This is our major fundraising event for 2023, and the fourth edition of this event. To date we’ve raised about $56,000 for Middleton Grange School, money that directly benefits our students.

Why not get fit, have some fun with friends and family, and support the school at the same time? Registrations will open in a few weeks, so now is a good time to get your team and training organised. If taking part doesn’t appeal to you, please volunteer to help on the day of the event or with some of the preparations beforehand. We will need people to be marshals, operate the registration desk, organise sponsors and spot prizes, operate the start/finish line, help with advertising, catering, first aid, and many other tasks. If you can help in any way, please email Rod Thompson: r.thompson@middleton.school.nz

Last year we had a great volunteer team, and working together was a good way to have some fun and meet other people who are involved in our school community.

We’ve had some excellent sponsorship from local businesses which is a BIG help with our prizes and race packs. If you run a business and would like to help us out in some way, please let Rod know. It’s an effective way to put something back into the community and to promote your business at the same time.

LET’S MAKE THIS A FANTASTIC EVENT!
