GOLD PRIZES* for the fastest boy and girl in Golden Bay!

A passionate and generous local sponsor is keen to encourage local children to improve their physical fitness, because as we all know a healthy mind needs a healthy body! He has generously donated one half oz GOLD COIN (or ingot) for the first under 18 Golden Bay boy and girl!
