IronMāori made its long-awaited return to Ahuriri, Hawke's Bay this weekend after a two-year holding period due to Covid-19 disruptions and it was a great success with record numbers competing.
"To have people return has been amazing and the vibe has been electric. Everyone’s fizzing and it’s pretty good,” says IronMāori founder Heather Te Au Skipworth.
