Chafing the Dream

As emergency service personnel we see the effects of mental health in our society on a daily basis. Often this constant exposure to emotional and tragic events causes our own to suffer from mental health issues as well. This event is a way for us to raise funds, awareness and to help those suffering from mental health and break the cycle.

The Hawkes Bay Hundy is a 100km Team Relay Event on Saturday 26 September 2020. The race will start at Bayview Fire Station and follow the Hawke's Bay i-Ways, parks and reserves through Taradale, Napier, Clive, Haumoana, Havelock North and finishing at the Hastings Fire Station. The course is divided into 14 legs ranging from 5 to 10km, so will accommodate and be a challenge for both the novice and experienced runner.

Teams will compete for line honours as well as total funds raised. So please support you friends and family teams that are competing to raise funds for the many who suffer from mental health in our community.

All funds raised are going to STAROS. STAROS run support groups, workshops and events for individuals and families that have been affected by suicide.
