About this event

Run NZ Run is a range of Virtual Events held throughout the year. Many of the Virtual running events 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. The goal is to run the length of New Zealand. When you've run the South Island 922km, you can receive the South Island Medal, Run the North Island 1070km, you can receive the North Island Medal and when you've run both 1992km you can then receive the New Zealand Medal.

We'll have ongoing events to keep you motivated on you big goal of Run NZ, with Run NZ Run events every month. The Entry Fee to all events is FREE unless we have a specific fundraiser happening and you have the choice of purchasing a medal, a t-shirt or both is optional.

You have to register for the runs, complete it on, or within the specific period 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 events will be limited so don't delay your entries.

Our second Specific Run is a Queen's Birthday 5km on Monday 1st June, we'll actually give you Saturday 30th May to Monday 1st June to do it. We'll have a list of future events in the coming weeks you can enter. You can Run or Walk the events, this is soley up to you. Fantastic medals and t-shirts are being designed at present and we'll have these images up for you soon.
