About NZ Running
NZ Running is an independent directory of running races, run clubs and routes across Aotearoa. It is free to use, and free to be listed on.
Who runs it
I’m Matheus Castro, Matt to most people. I started NZ Running in October 2024 because finding a race here meant piecing it together from Facebook events, club pages and calendars that were hard to search, especially on a phone.
The aim is one place you can trust to find your next race or a group to run with: quick to search, kept up to date, and honest about what it knows.
Right now the site lists 371 upcoming races and 179 run clubs.
Where the listings come from
- Organisers and clubs send us their details through the event and club forms, and we add races we find announced publicly.
- We check every listing, and every change to one, before it goes live.
- Spotted a mistake? Every race page has Request a change at the foot of it.
We don’t organise the races. Questions about start times, entries, refunds or results are for the organiser, whose details are on the race page.
Some race pages show a “Where to stay” map from Stay22. If you book through it we earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.
Contact
- A question about a race: ask the organiser. Their website or email is on the race page.
- Something wrong on a listing: use Request a change on that page, so we know exactly which one you mean.
- Everything else, including organisers, clubs, partnerships and press: email [email protected]. We usually reply within two working days.
You can also find us on Facebook, and talk to other runners in the NZ Running group.
