The Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Trust has once again been named as the Official Charity Partner of the Air New Zealand Hawke's Bay International Marathon.
This year's event will take place on Saturday May 13, and the trust is urging runners to join "Team Rescue Heli" and help raise vital funds for the charity, which provides a 24/7 emergency rescue helicopter service to the region.
Frances Searle, commercial partnerships manager at IRONMAN Oceania, which owns and delivers the event said they were "delighted" to be working with the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter again.
"We are excited to build on last year's fantastic partnership with such an important local charity"
Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Trust marketing and fundraising manager Laura Hyde said the organisation was looking forward to this year's event.
