Around Rarotonga Race 
The Round Rarotonga Road Race celebrates its 39th Anniversary with its annual weeklong event from the 22-28 September 2016 held on the beautiful tropical island of Rarotonga. The event caters for everyone including families, social, recreational and competitive runners and is a fantastic opportunity to combine a holiday with a once in a lifetime sporting achievement. http://sale.cookislands.travel/events/round-rarotonga-road-race-2/

Miles and Sheryne have done the hard yards and chased down a good price for travel and accomodation.  The chance of cheaper fares closer to the day is balanced off against not getting into the hosting resort at Shearwater.  Do you you feel lucky... well do you...?  Contact Natalia McAllansmith at Flight Centre North City, 2374477, and you should be able to get the same kind of deal.
