to good health
Residents of Whanganui and the surrounding districts from all walks of life set foot on the winding Whanganui River Road on Saturday to promote health and fitness.
Ka Waewae Tātahi O Te Awa Tupua is an annual river relay hosted by Te Whawhaki Trust, a subsidiary of Te Ōranganui, a Whanganui iwi-led organisation that improves the access and service delivery of health services.
The aim of Ka Waewae Tātahi O Te Awa Tupua is to provide awareness around health, staying fit and enjoying a day out with whānau and friends.
Beginning their trek at Pungarehu Marae at dawn, teams and individual participants set off north along the 57-kilometre route between the marae and Pipiriki.
