Kapiti Business ProjectsKāpiti Run for Youth is OPEN for Registration by Individuals and Groups
Kāpiti Coast, Wellington, New Zealand Friday 24th, 2023: The Web Genius Kāpiti Run for Youth is actively planning and activating its campaign to take place in-person on the beach on Sunday 26 March 2023. “We can’t wait to see many happy people again, says Campaign Manager, Helene Judge.
Kāpiti Run for Youth takes place annually to raise funds and fitness for Kāpiti rangatahi youth while having fun walking or running along the beautiful Kāpiti coastline. “There are four options to choose from: 12 or 6km walk and the 12 or 6km run,” says Richard Calkin, the Founder of Web Genius. He goes on to say, “registration is from 8.45am to 10am with all walkers and runners starting together at 10.15am. Once their profile is set-up, we ask everyone to let their whānau, friends and work mates know so they can sponsor their efforts.”
“There is no entry fee to participate in Kāpiti Run for Youth as we use a sponsorship model and we encourage everyone to raise $20 or more,” says Steve Jandrell, Web Genius CEO. All entrants receive regular campaigns to motivate their sponsorship efforts along the way.
“We are fully committed to operating within the Event Sector Voluntary Code when it comes to Covid,” says Helene. If circumstances were to change and Covid prevented us from operating, we would go virtual like what we did in 2020 and 2022. We encourage being fully boosted for you, your whānau, your community, and please don’t attend if you are feeling unwell. It’s quick, easy and free to register as an individual or group, so just head over to our website now >>
