An unusual, family-focused event will give the public access to private areas of Te Apiti wind farm for the Meridian Te Apiti Whanau Challenge in April.
Participants can run, walk or take a family stroll through various lengths of tracks among the windmills in the event run by Sport Manawatu in partnership with Tararua District Council and Meridian Energy.
"It is an exciting event for the district, in particular the Tararua," said Sport Manawatu's Tararua recreation adviser, Natarsha Nikora.
"Meridian Energy and private landowners have been kind enough to give us access through a beautiful part of our region so we anticipate a great turnout."
A festival stationed at the public viewing area will also host stalls for the whole family.
