Counting down to the city's biggest fun run - City2Surf

With new year resolutions on the horizon, there’s no better time to set yourself a personal goal than at one of New Zealand's biggest fun runs - the City2Surf.

On March 22, the Les Mills City2Surf will celebrate its 46th running and, as always, it will cater for all types of fitness levels with 14km and 6km options.

The 14km event starts at 9am at Pioneer Stadium, while the 6km event starts at 10am at Hansen Park in Opawa. They will both culminate in a massive finish at the Ferrymead Playing Fields, where there will be plenty of entertainment and prizes on offer.

Said event manager Jon Holmes: “The Les Mills City2Surf gives everyone the outlet to do something for themselves.

"Challenge yourself to the 14km distance or give yourself a first test and try to finish the 6km fun run.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’ve come from, running, jogging or walking the Les Mills City2Surf is the most welcoming and achievable thing you can do in 2020,” he said.
