This is the second year of our Gizzy Laser Half Marathon event, sponsored by local business Laser Electrical and Plumbing. Join us for one of 3 distances (5k, 10k or 21k). We start and finish at Matawhero Winery and run the stop bank track along the scenic Waipaoa River! Walkers* and runners welcome!
