Top of the Rock 2014The Kaiwaka Sports Association's fourth annual multi-sport event, the Top of the Rock, will be held on Sunday 9th February.
The event caters for walkers, runners and mountain bikers, both recreational and competitive as there are a range of options: * 5km or 10km walk or run * 10km run + 15km mountain bike ride * 30km mountain bike Routes travel through some of Kaiwaka's most scenic countryside – bush, lakes and farmland. And you get the once-a-year opportunity to climb iconic Baldrock Mountain, which is easier than the daunting view from the road suggests, as there is a well formed track which spirals around the mountain.

Participants of all ages enter Top of the Rock, from pre-schoolers upwards – last year the $50 prize for the oldest participant went to an 82 year old! TV3's Brendon 'Money Man' Johnson will host the prizegiving with prizes for placegetters as well as lots of great spot prizes, including a mountain bike sponsored by My Bike in Whangarei. A raffle will also be drawn for a lawnmower, kindly donated by Steve from Kaiwaka Motorcyles. Last year there were over 300 particpants and they are hoping to build on that number this time. Entry forms can be found on www.kaiwakasports.co.nz or can be picked up from: * Jaques Four Square * Kaiwaka Motorcyles * Skeltons Drapery, Paparoa * Mangawhai Vet Centre * Wellsford Sports & Leisure * Maungaturoto Carters There will be an awesome array of prizes with thanks to the generous sponsors:
