Peninsula Co-op is the latest business to step up in support of the new track at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence.
Peninsula Co-op has donated $50,000 towards the $1 million PISE Track Project. It brings the total to more than 60 per cent of the funds required to secure the project.
The initial phase of the multi-purpose track, a training zone, adjacent to the building, is currently being utilized by athletes, students and PISE members.
Ground breaking for the second phase of the fully accessible four-lane, 400-metre training track is planned for later this spring, pending full funding of the project. It will also house spectactor seating to host events.
