We're getting there.....

With changes coming up to the covid framework soon, it finally sounds like we may be getting some more freedoms here in NZ. For the events sector (among many other sectors) this comes as a sigh of relief, but we are still obviously in uncertain times.I think for events such as the WUU2K, where the event is run outdoors, there needs to be no limits and eased restrictions, and I believe this will happen soon. I mean, it has to right? The same goes for all outdoor sporting events.

The WUU is getting more entries but things have clearly been a lot slower with hesitation around covid and entering events. I fully get it and understand that people want more assurance that the event they enter will go ahead, and hopefully we're getting to that stage after 2 years of uncertainty!

SOME STATS SO FAR:

• The WUU has close to 250 entered with over 100 in the 43km
  
• Around half of the entrants have never run the WUU before
  
• Male to female entrants are around 60% - 40%
  
• Around a 1/4 of the WUU Blue T shirts have been sold
  

Kia Kaha,
