Walkers, runners hit harbour course

Competitors took part in five different categories covering the 21km half marathon or shorter 9km course in Whangarei as part of the Sport Northland Run/Walk Series. This year’s half marathon featured picturesque harbour and coastal views, starting at the Town Basin and going through the sculpture garden, and across Te Matau a Pohe bridge and Kotuitui Whiti footbridge. There were drink stations every 3km and entertainment along the course. Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along to capture these images.
