Be part of NZ’s funnest fun run series as we embark on our next era: taking our formula for fun in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland down the coast to Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington and across the Strait to Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Run, walk or roll, Southern Cross Round the Bays is for all ages and fitness stages and is a great way for you to raise money for a charity close to your heart.
NEW ... Be amongst the first to take part in Round the Bays Christchurch! NZ’s funnest fun run is now in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Follow the 8.4km course from the estuary to New Brighton Pier and celebrate at the finish line with your friends, whānau and colleagues.
Things are a little different in Wellington! Take part in the NEW 8.4km fun run course or the classic 21km Half Marathon for something a little more hard-out!
Both courses start from the city around the bays to Kilbirnie Park.
Stuff Events is excited to join forces with Nuku Ora to deliver the largest mass participation event in the Lower North Island. A fun day out for all ages and fitness stages!
Every year, tens of thousands of people come together to get active along Tāmaki Drive.
The 8.4km course is flat and follows the Waitematā Harbour’s picturesque coastline starting on Quay Street and finishing in St Heliers.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously and neither should you! We supply the backdrop and entertainment, you bring the colour and life, and together we create one kick ass day.
Make Round the Bays even more memorable with our 2025 merch.
Run for a reason! Fundraise or donate to a charity close to your heart.
