Nelson, The Honest Lawyer, Monaco
The race
This event forms part of a summer series of fun runs hosted by The Honest Lawyer Country Pub, located in Monaco, Nelson. Participants can expect a relaxed and community-focused atmosphere, encouraging both runners and walkers of all abilities to join in.
The course features three alternating routes. The first option is an out-and-back route along the scenic Monaco Peninsula, offering views of the water and surrounding areas. The second course takes participants on a “Y” shape near the Nelson airport, while a third “Out and Back” course along the Deviation serves as a backup option if needed.
Registration is available on the day of the event, starting around 5:15 PM in the pub’s Courtyard. Walkers and early runners, typically those anticipating a completion time of over 30 minutes, begin at 6:00 PM, followed by the main runners at 6:15 PM.
The event concludes with a prize-giving ceremony back at The Honest Lawyer, fostering a sense of community and celebration among participants. For further details regarding course maps and information, the event website and Facebook page are available as resources.
