Forest run bringing tourists to Rotorua
A popular run alongside geysers and Rotorua's redwood forest is all set to take off this weekend. Last year 'Run the Forest' drew more than 3000 runners, with more than 90 per cent of them coming from out of town. This year, it has more than 4000 runners and sold out a month ago. The event has multiple runs up to the half-marathon distance - including a 10km 'Geothermal Traverse' and a 7km 'Redwoods Trail'. Debbie Robertson, general manager at Wai Ariki Hot Springs, the sponsors of the event, and organiser Mike Cockin speak to Susie about the weekend's big event for Rotorua.
