LODGE TO LODGE Half Marathon and 10 km Wandle Walk/run
The Lodge to Lodge Half Marathon and 10 km Wandle Walk/Run is held annually, along the picturesque Inland road between Mt Lyford and Waiau, North Canterbury.
The route meanders from the Alpine Village of Mt Lyford with its snow covered peaks towards the centre of activities in Waiau, crossing several rivers, having a few uphill parts but mainly a slight downhill course.
DATE: 20 October 2012
The race is organised by the Waiau Citizens Association as a community event. A very successfull first year event in 2010 has prompted the organisers to keep offering this great opportunity for runners and walkers of all abilities to have a great day in the beautiful North Canterbury country side.
Transport from Waiau to the start point is possible for a small fee of $ 5 (if pre registered). Please click the box on entry form. Half marathon leave at 8 am and 10km leave at 9 am from Waiau Lodge Hotel.

We hope you enjoyed your day and would love to see you again next year on the saturday of Labour weekend 20 October 2012.
