For just registering for one of the weekends, you’re in the draw to win some amazing spot prizes from our Event Partners and Product Partners. The winners will be drawn by 5.00pm on the Monday following the weekend, and notified via facebook messenger and email.

What do I do after I have run or walked my distance?

add remove

Log back into your page – and upload your time (if you want to) or leave a comment. You are also welcome to upload an image. Please note – we have asked you in the registration page whether you are happy for us to share these photos on our own social media. Please ensure you have checked, or unchecked this box as relevant.

Consider using STRAVA or MAP MY RUN to keep a track of your distances and times, and to try and better yourself each week. It is then straightforward to load your distances and times onto social media via either of these apps.

What is the money raised from this event going towards?

add remove

Plunket is a charity and although we have a government contract to deliver our Plunket nursing service (the WellChild Tamariki Ora Programme), everything we do above and beyond our nursing service such as parenting programmes and support groups, is funded through the efforts of our fundraising teams through donations, grants, partnerships and fundraising events.

Does everyone in my family group have to run the same distance?

add remove

Yes you do! The person who sets up the registration gets to set the distance.

Do we have to run the same distance every weekend?

add remove

Yes for the purposes of the registration you do - but you are welcome to challenge yourself, and when you log back into your page, make a note of how far you ran or walked - and share it with your friends!
