“The Gisborne East Coast Cancer Society provides incredible support to our community and this is our chance to give back.”
There will be medals for the first, second and third place in each race for men and women, with a cash prize of $100 going to the fastest male and female.
Half marathon walkers start at 8am and everyone else starts at 9am.
The club would like to minimise waste as much as possible, so asks that people bring a collapsible cup or hydration pack for refilling at the aid stations and a coffee cup for hot drinks at the coffee cart.
The three aid stations on the course will have water and Tailwind, which is an electrolyte drink, plus a few snacks.
To avoid a queue on race day, the club is offering race pack pick-up on Friday, November 17 at Neighbourhood Pizzeria from 5pm to 7pm.
It is highly recommended to enter early and avoid the rush on Sunday morning.
The Gizzy Laser Half Marathon is more than just a run with live music from Lars and the Clandestinos, coffee and spot prizes also on offer at the event. Prizegiving will kick off at 12 midday.
• Matawhero Winery will also be serving up platters after the run but people need to book in advance. Email Kirsten at cellardoor@matawhero.co.nz by end-of-business on Friday to book.
