City2Saxton 2019

City2Saxton is back!

The 2019 event is taking place on Sunday 7 April. Sign up now to take part in one of Nelson's most enjoyable mass-participation events! Walk, run or wheel your way along 10km of Nelson's famous bike paths and celebrate your achievement at Saxton Fields!

This year we are delighted to announce that we are teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nelson Tasman. All participants are encouraged to raise funds for this worthy cause and make a real difference in the lives of some of Nelson's youth.

As always, we are hoping to be even bigger and better than in previous years - so spread the word!

More people, more active, more often!​​​​​​​

Run, Roll, Stroll - Slow or fast you'll have a blast!
This is a 10km fun run/walk course from Victory Community Centre to Saxton Field on smooth walkways.

A great family event. Run it, walk it, scooter, skateboard, wheelchair or push a pram but sorry no bikes. Bikes are only allowed for children under 6 years who are with an adult (not on a bike).

Transportation:
Free bus transportation before the event from Saxton Field to the start line at Victory Community Centre. Departure times are available on the website.

Note that anyone traveling with an under 6 year old who is riding a bike will not be permitted to take the bus with their bike. You will need to find your own transportation to the start line.

The Course:
The course will use the city's excellent cycleways which are smooth paths, largely avoiding road traffic. Course maps are available on the event website.

Registration: Online registration at www.sporttasman.org.nz is now open.

Prizes:
Lots of spot prizes and a special prize for one lucky family with three generations participating.
