The inaugural Oxfam Trailwalker in Whakatāne helped raise nearly $1 million for great causes and despite some ‘challenging’ weather was hailed a success by organisers and participants alike. Oxfam New Zealand is now preparing to do it all again in 2017, and to get the ball rolling they are hosting an information evening in cooperation with Whakatāne District Council. 

The info evening promises to answer any questions new entrants might have and will also offer a preview of the new course for those coming back for seconds. And for those not wanting to do either the 50 km or 100 km courses there will be info on how you can get involved in other ways.

The evening will be held at the Whakatāne Visitor Information Centre on Tuesday, 4 October at 6 pm, and anyone interested in attending is asked to sign up at Oxfam's website or call the Information Centre.
