Nelson, The Honest Lawyer, Monaco
The race
The Honest Lawyer Series features a fun running event that takes place in the summer, starting from The Honest Lawyer Country Pub in Monaco, Nelson. The event showcases three distinct courses, each offering a unique experience. The first course is an out-and-back route along the scenic Monaco Peninsula, allowing participants to enjoy waterfront views. The second course takes the shape of a “Y” and extends toward the Nelson airport, while the third option is an “Out and Back” course along the Deviation, reserved as a backup.
This event caters to both runners and walkers, welcoming participants of all skill levels. Registration opens around 5:15 PM in the Courtyard outside the pub, with walkers and those who anticipate taking over 30 minutes starting at 6 PM, followed by runners at 6:15 PM.
Post-event, participants can gather for prize giving back at The Honest Lawyer, fostering a sense of community and celebration. Additional details about the courses can be found on the event’s website or Facebook page.
