The Kaponga Lions Fun Run and Walk will be going ahead no matter the weather on Waitangi Day.
Kaponga Lion Winston Stark says the event is always well attended and is open to everyone.
"We have had stable numbers of entrants over the years. It's always had a good turnout."
With the event now in its 28th year, the Kaponga Lions has the formula right.
"We have plenty of spot prizes on offer, thanks to sponsorship from businesses and individuals," says Winston.
