Run the Night for Zoe
Sunday 25 - Mon 26 January 2026
Tomorrow afternoon, we’re supporting one of our own as she takes on a pretty epic challenge.
Zoe is a Whiritoa lifeguard and patrol captain, and in February she’s heading off on Spirit of Adventure after being chosen by the club. The club has already covered half the cost of the voyage, and now Zoe is fundraising to make up the rest.
Her plan is simple (and slightly mad) - a 4km loop around Whiritoa every hour, on the hour, for 24 hours.
Zoe will be down at the surf club from 3.45pm Sunday with the first run starting at 4.00pm, and she’d love your support, whether that’s a donation, some company on the road, or a bit of cheering from the sidelines.
You can help in a few easy ways:
Take part in the challenge - $20 entry if you want to see how far you can go by running a lap (or a few!) alongside Zoe

Reference: ZoeDonate at the snack bar or bar
Drop cash into the red donation bucket at the club
Or jump in for a lap or two just for fun (bonus points if you carry the bucket)
Check out our Facebook page for updates, or follow two_tryhards on Instagram.
Every bit of support helps Zoe get closer to an unforgettable offshore adventure. Come down, say hi, join her for a loop, or chip in if you can.

Taste of Toa - Community Fundraiser
Our first Taste of Toa fundraiser brought the community together in style. On 31 May, the Surf Club came alive with local craft beer, boutique spirits, and fresh kai – all donated by talented producers from across the Coromandel and beyond.
Special thanks to Vicki Skill, who led the event organisation, and Jane Bell, whose incredible local kai made the night memorable. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, or volunteered. Your support is helping us invest in the next generation of lifeguards who keep Whiritoa Beach safe.
