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.
Specific Runs:
Our next Specific Run is Dog Day 5km on 26th August, you have from 25th - 28th August or thereabouts. Then comes Spring 5km from 29th August - 4th September or thereabouts, followed by Father's Day 5km which you can do from 2nd - 6th September or thereabouts. 24-25th September or thereabouts is Fun Run 5km. I Survived 2020 will continue on until all the Medals are sold.

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 certificate and to see how you compared to others. Once you've uploaded the results we will forward your medal and/or t-shirt.
