The Coastal Classic, a mountain biking, running and walking event, will be held from Taieri Mouth today. About three years later, walking and running events were added to give people more variety and cater to what they were interested in competing in. One thing that has stayed the same is the use of the money raised - it goes to the Taieri Mouth community, administered by the Taieri Mouth Amenities Society. Taieri Mouth was "quite a distance'' from neighbouring areas, so it was good to have a group of "enthusiastic people down there that do that'', he said. The events were an "adventure'' and often took people to areas around Taieri Mouth they would not have been to otherwise.
