Ruakaka Beach is the venue
 for the second Junior Interclub carnival of the summer on Saturday 11 January.
A total of 424 Northern Region athletes aged 7-13 years are registered to participate. Ten Northern Region clubs will be represented.
For the 87 Red Beach competitors, the carnival will be a fitting finale to the annual 5-day camp at Mangawhai Heads.

Marshalling for events at Ruakaka gets underway at 9.15 am. On the programme are Beach Flags, Run Swim Run, Board Race, Diamond event and a 2 km Beach Relay. For non-badged competitors there’s a Run Wade Run and a Body Board race.

First up in the four water arenas will be the Run Swim Run and the Run Wade Run events. They will be followed by Board races and the Diamond event. Beach Flags will be contested, according to age divisions, over four separate flag pits.

Saturday's carnival is a participation event and finals won't be run.
