Part of the Far North's Twin Coast Cycle Trail will be the scene of serious, and not so serious, efforts next month for the annual Okaihau-Kaikohe Traverse.
Now in its sixth year, the Traverse is open to all, whether they want a serious run or casual walk at the September 25 event.
Registrations have opened for the Traverse, which includes 21km, 14km or 9km runs and 14km or 9km walks.
Event organiser Kaikohe Rotary Club president Don Edmonds said the Traverse was a popular event, attracting runners and walkers from all over Northland, with about 200 people taking part last year.
"It is not a competitive event - it's about getting out and having fun," Mr Edmonds said.
