Ōmokoroa Coastal Challenge

After so much uncertainty around whether or not we could hold our event, we are very excited to announce that we are going ahead and once again it will be even bigger and better.

We all know that Covid-19 is having an impact on businesses but our fantastic sponsors have all been incredibly supportive and are just as keen as us to bring some fun to 2020. We, therefore, offer a huge thank you to BaseUp, Classic Builders, Tremains, Likeable Lab, MoreFm and our new gold sponsor for 2020, VPT Health Club.

So what is new in 2020? We have an absolutely stunning 21km run option so for anyone wanting a challenge, or if you like the longer distances, this one is for you. We are also adding the 15km as a walk option (although it is more like 15ish km).

These two longer distances incorporate the Cycleway over to Plummers Point Peninsula and towards Te Puna and the scenery is beautiful. Another exciting addition this year is a special schools category where schools will enter age-based teams into the 5km run to compete against each other for a title and prizes from BaseUp. More information will be coming soon on this but if you are keen for your school to enter, please get in touch with us.

The team at VPT Health Club will be creating some training plans for the 10km, 15ishkm and 21km so look out for those on the website.

Registrations are now open with Early Bird pricing available until 31 August, so sign up now on our website www.runrunrun.co.nz and start training. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date as new information comes in. See you there on Sunday, October 18!
