Tamworth’s green youth were off and running again in Sustainable North Wests’ Amazing Enviro Race on Friday 10 March 2017 at Bicentennial Park. The event, now in its fifth year, is a series of physical and mental challenges based on environment and sustainability issues. The kids complete a short course through Bicentennial Park and surrounds competing in ten challenges all while dressed up in “anything green”.
The race was open to school students in year 7 to 12, and attracted over 100 entries. The Race is part of the Sustainable North West Program, encompassing a series of events held each year aimed at educating, informing and inspiring residents of the North West to live more sustainably.
The FREE event aims to engage our regions high school students to think about what they can do to minimise their impact on the environment in a fun and creative way.
“Last year 70 participants from local schools, sporting clubs and youth groups participated with this year shaping up to be even bigger. The help and support of Tamworth Regional Council’s Sustainability Unit has been essential in allowing the Committee to put the event on.” said Stephanie Cameron, Chair of the Sustainable North West Committee.
“Entry is free with two age categories (Junior and Senior) and major prizes for the first pair home, as well as a number of prizes for best dressed & ‘lucky entry’ prizes. Prizes include: Apple watches, Fit Bits, Saltwater Wine Vouchers, drones and more – but you have to be in it to win it!” Ms Cameron said.
