KEY POINTS:
If you're ready to shake away the winter cobwebs, head to Rotorua's Tikitapu, or Blue Lake, on Saturday, December 16. The Tikitapu race is a stroke-and-stride community effort that supports the Rotorua Half Ironman held on the same day. It is a 1000m swim of Lake Tikitapu (400m for novices) followed by a 5.5km run/walk for all. Entry can be as an individual or as a tag team of two. Entry is free but $5 donations to Rotorua Rotary are invited. Starts at 8am (8.10am novices). More info online.
