The Carterton Wheelbarrow Race is a uniquely Wairarapa event, featuring decorated barrows, a 13km endurance event, kids scooter and mobility scooter events.
It’s amazing watching how fast pairs of competitors can push each other in a wheelbarrow all the way from Gladstone to Carterton!
Nectarine created a free site to support the event, which is a wonderful local institution that began in 1936 and was revived 65 years later to be on every year or two since 2001.
