Mid Winter 5km - Run NZ Run

Mid Winter 5km with Run NZ Run

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 kilometres.

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 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. 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 events every month. Some of our ongoing Runs are Run Stewart Island, Run Lake Taupo, Run Waiheke Island and Run 90 Mile Beach.

The Entry Fee to all events 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 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.

We will have a platform for you to record your distances you've run, in the mean time keep a record of the distances run and then you can load these one we have it all set for you.

Our Third Specific Run is the Mid Winter 5km on Sunday 21st of June 2020. We will actually give you Saturday and Sunday to do it and entries won't close until Midnight Sunday as we know a lot of people leave it to the last minute.

Our list of events are now on the Runs page and the ability to enter these will be loaded next week.

You can Run or Walk the events, this is solely up to you. Fantastic medals and t-shirts are being designed at present and we'll have these images up for you soon.

Plus; you'll be able to donate to the New Zealand Heart Foundation when you enter any of our events. The Heart Foundation NZ is our chosen Charity for Run NZ Run and all donations go direct to the foundation.
