CULLINANE College students will hit the pavement this Monday in a charity relay from Raetihi to Whanganui.
Darryl Daignault is a teacher at Cullinane and says that over four days, students from his school and four others will run along the River Road to raise money for a struggling primary school in the Bay of Plenty.
"They'll spend the night in Ranana, at the marae there. The next day they'll get up and run to Parikino. They're going to go down and cross the river at Kaiwhaiki."
A van following the teams will leapfrog the students to each relay point.
"The kids will run a certain distance, and then another group will take over."
"It's not a race, the whole point of it is to raise some money for a disadvantaged community."
