Beach To Basin Fun Run

The Chilltech Beach To Basin Fun Run features a course that meanders through Whangarei’s scenic waterways and inner harbour. Established by Athletics Whangarei in 1978, the event has seen its participation swell, now drawing over 2000 runners and walkers annually. Participants can choose between more competitive runs or enjoy a leisurely walk, including a specific route that accommodates pram strollers. The race fosters a family-friendly atmosphere with a special 2km dash designed for children, encouraging younger participants to engage in the event. This race is part of the broader Sport Northland Run/Walk Series, connecting it to a larger community of regional athletic events.
