Saturday 16 May – Scarecrow Scamper

Scarecrow Scamper and Juniors’ Rascal Romp – Tapawera
The Scarecrow Scamper is a classic cross-country.
There’s a river to cross, but you can choose to run or
walk through it, or you can take the bridge.
There’s a hot shower available at the barn if mud,
cold or cowpats get the better of you.
The event takes place on Martin and Jill Bonny’s farm,
297 Tapawera-Baton Road, Tapawera,
about 50km/40 minutes drive from Richmond.
