Summer sport series starting soon

A summer series of sport and recreation events created to encourage people to be more active will start on January 26 in the Clutha district.

The Clutha Country Summer Series, which began in 2008, is designed to offer a simple group of fitness events for all ages.

The series will begin at Kaka Point on Sunday, January 26, then move to Milton on February 2 and Lawrence on February 9 before finishing in Tapanui on February 16.

Participants can enter the run, walk, triathlon or duathlon, with the latter two also allowing teams of two or three to take part.

Sport Clutha co-ordinator Tiny Carruthers said last year's events drew a large crowd of holidaymakers and locals.

He said the distances were achievable, with four age categories - primary, secondary, open and masters (45+).

Those entered in at least three of the four events will go in the draw for a mountain bike, BMX bike and a scooter. Entries must be made on the official entry form.
