Run, walk, bike, swim, skip … 1.4 kilometres a day.
That is the undemanding task for supporters of the Cancer Society’s national Marathon-in a-Month fundraiser, which began today.
Participants only need to cover an average of 1.4km a day through November to complete the marathon, but supporters can continue pastthe distance of 42.2 kilometres if they wish.
Gisborne-East Coast Cancer Society fundraising and events coordinator Shay Podjursky has even provided a recommended route for Tairāwhiti walkers, runners, cyclists and even those who choose to skip their way to the “finish line”.
“Follow the boardwalk from Captain Morgans along to Kiwa Pools and back and you’ve just completed the first 1.4km of your marathon quest.”
