Whangarei Ability Stroll
Published 10 February 2009, Posted in Northland / 1 Comment
Keen to be part of the Beach to Basin on 1st March 2009 but not confident to go the whole distance?
The Ability Stroll offers an alternative course for those with mobility challenges….
The 2.2 km course begins at Cobham Oval and finishes along with the Beach to Basin participants down at the Town Basin. This will mean a course with less congestion and more easily negotiable with plenty of room for wheelchairs, walking frames and support people.
Registration will take place at the start of the course at 8am for an 8:30 start.
The Ability Stroll is around 2.2 kilometres, is on flat terrain and follows foot paths. Accessible parking is available at both ends of the route along with toilet facilities. The route will be well marked with cones and a support vehicle will accompany the group of walkers and wheelers.
This is a good opportunity for all of us keen to be associated with the Beach to Basin event so get your gear on!

thanks for posting this Gail and Saffron. hopefully it will attract as many new participants as possible as the route is accessible and achievable by many - myself included! look forward to any inquiries anyone has and to seeing you on the day!

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
