The Futureproof Life
Rodney Coast Challenge
Muriwai Beach to Wenderholm
13th November 2022
The official fundraiser of the Kaukapakapa Scout Group
The Rodney Coast Challenge (RCC) is a yearly event run by the Kaukapakapa Scout Group which consists of a Kea Scout Club, a Cub Scout Pack, and a Scout Troop. They have a long history in the community, with many leaders being second generation Scouts. Every Kea, Cub, Scout, and parent helps run the RCC event to ensure that it is a yearly success.
Last year our event was cancelled due to Covid-19 so we are hoping for a bumper year this year to make up for it!
We'd love to see you on the start line or at the finish. Train hard!
Our event is going ahead with current Covid-19 levels. A full refund policy available if the event is cancelled.
