2006 – Looking Back
The 2006 Highland Yard had quite a facelift.  We had listened to our runners and spectators and therefore made some big changes in 2006 that made the event even better than before.

Route: the new route was a loop, beginning and ending on Minden's main street.  This meant a simpler - and more exciting - race start.

Length: runners had the choice of two races - a 5km race and a 10km race - meaning that all levels could take part.

Included with Your Fee

  • Free race kit valued at over $40.00 (including T-shirt).
  • Water stations & distance indicators.
  • Local ambulance and police near by.

Prizes :

  • Prize for the eldest runner.
  • Prizes for top male and top female.
  • Prizes for top 3 runners in each class.
  • Many more exciting prizes to be won!!
