Everyone from children to the best runners and walkers is invited to this series of events with its own carnival atmosphere.

Challenge yourself over a fast flat 5km course (only 1.6km for children) right in the centre of the city!

There also a new event for 2019 along the usual 5km: 3 x 1 mile relay. This will be a unique challenge starting at 5.45pm to try and keep pace with some of the top Canterbury runners over a much shorter distance.

Dates: Tuesday evenings from 7th January until 4th February 2020.
Start Times: Children under 15 years at 5.30pm. Athletes registered with Athletics New Zealand at 5.45pm. Fun run for both runners and walkers at 6.15pm.
Location: Hagley Park North.
Cost: $5 per person for those 15 years and over. Children under 15 years free.

There are heaps of spot prizes each evening, together with a free sausage barbeque, sponsors' tents and free sports drinks.
