Leith Harbour Free 5K & 10K: October

This monthly community time trial offers participants the opportunity to engage in a friendly running environment, with courses that vary between two venues. Typically held on alternating Thursdays at 6 PM and Sundays at 9 AM, the October event will take place on the East Harbour course.

Starting and finishing outside 9 Kitchener Street, the route follows the Te Aka Ōtākou shared path. Participants will find designated turnaround points for both the 5km and 10km distances. The course is designed to be accessible, accommodating wheelchair users and those with prams.

Registration is straightforward, allowing participants to sign up online or at the start line, with a one-time registration process that covers future events in the series. The atmosphere is welcoming, fostering community engagement and encouraging runners of all levels to join in.
