Each evening, there are races for Athletics New Zealand registered athletes, recreational runners and walkers as well as children 14 years and under.

With the support of our sponsors there is a great range of spot prizes each evening and valuable series performance prizes for runners in the registered races.

North Hagley Park is in the centre of the city, making access very easy and the entry fee is purposefully kept low to encourage people and families to compete in all five runs. The Shoe Clinic Asics 5K Series is a great opportunity to help keep in trim shape over the summer holidays and to see some of Christchurch’s best runners in action in the registered races.
