About Us
We are ordinary people in the Foxton and Beach community who roll up our sleeves to help with the needs of those around us.
When we raise funds, the full proceeds go to the cause as Lions Clubs do not incur administration costs. This makes us distinctly different from other charities and fund raisers.
We run our annual Footprints in the Sand Fun Run on Foxton Beach, in March each year.
- 5km, 10km and 1/2 marathon distances
- Start/ Finish line on the beach in front of the Surf Club Building
- Run/ walk north on the hard-packed sand to your turnaround refreshment station
- Check-in and collect wrist band from 6:30am
- Prizegiving with lots of spot prizes held by 12pm or when last entrant finishes
