The Wellington Waterfront 5K Fun Run & Walk features a scenic course that immerses participants in the picturesque settings of Wellington’s waterfront. Starting from the east side of the link span bridge, runners and walkers pass prominent landmarks such as Te Papa and the bustling marina, navigating around Clyde Quay Wharf and extending their journey to Oriental Bay.
The course design, which loops back to the starting point past Carlton Gore Road, ensures participants can enjoy the vibrant waterfront atmosphere throughout the event. Key points along the route are marshalled to aid in navigation and safety, reflecting the community’s involvement in supporting this event.
Organized by the Wellington Scottish Athletics Club, this event is part of a broader series that takes place from October to March, contributing to a regular community gathering that encourages active lifestyles through a picturesque urban setting.
