A fantastic day of Beach Sprints with 45 races held — along with a fun tug of war during the lunch break. Kohimarama Beach was a beautiful spot from which to run this event.
Crews from West End RC, Waikato RC, Te Awamutu RC, St Georges RC and more lined up across quads and doubles — including memorably-named combinations like "Up the Wahs" and "Megasplat".
