What Is Run NZ Run?
Run NZ Run is a range of Virtual Runs/Walks held throughout the year. Many of the Virtual runs/walks will be held on Specific Days of the year, or challenges over a period of time or kilometers.
The aim is to have as many people throughout New Zealand out running and walking for the benefit of their health.
We have ongoing events to keep you motivated with Run the South, Run the North and Run NZ. There is no time limit for these. Take as long as you want. The goal is to run or walk the length of New Zealand. When you've run the South Island - 920km, you can receive the South Island Medal. Run the North Island - 1062km, you can receive the North Island Medal. When you've run both - 1982km you can then receive the New Zealand Medal.
We have ongoing events to keep you motivated on your way to the big goal of Run NZ, with Specific Run NZ Run runs every 3-4 weeks. Some of our ongoing Runs are Run Stewart Island, Run Lake Taupo, Run Waiheke Island and Run 90 Mile Beach, check out the 'Main Runs/Walks TAB to see the full list.
The Entry Fee to all runs is FREE unless we have a specific fundraiser happening. You have the choice of purchasing a medal, a t-shirt or both is optional as a combo.
You have to register for the runs, complete it on, or within the specific period if there is one and then send in your results. We'll publish the results so you can see how you compare with other runners and walkers. Entries to some runs will be limited so don't delay your entries.
We will have a platform for you to record your distances and times you've run. You just update your runs when you have done them, or each week/month, whatever is easiest on the https://results.raceroster.com/en-US/virtual-challenges/138433/leaderboard page. Once you have completed the distance scroll on down for your certficiate and to see how you compared to others. Once you've uploaded the results we will forward your medal and/or t-shirt.
