It's time to get your walking shoes on again and explore one of Dunedin’s great natural and historical landscapes.
The Town Belt Traverse is an 8.2 kilometre walk from the Southern Cemetery to Woodhaugh Gardens taking in the heart of the Dunedin Town Belt on Sunday, April 28, and it's absolutely free!
The route is a pram friendly (3 wheel buggies with some help) event for people of all ages stopping off at five points along the way. Participants will receive a map and ticket at the car-park inside the Southern Cemetery.
The traverse starts at between 10-11am and all participants must complete the traverse by 1.30pm. Collect a stamp at all five marshal points and you can be eligible for some great local prizes drawn at the finish. You must be at the draw to collect your prize. The route is marked and there will be marshals at road crossing points along the way. Register on the day at the start of the walk.
In 2017 we had 900 participants and this event has grown more popular every year.
You can bring your dog, provided they’re on a lead and you have your bags for their doings! We will have water at various points along the way for them to drink.
This year we have the “Making a Change Expo” at Woodhaugh which have some great an interesting things to see and do.
