The Nexans Fun Run/Walk Series will take place on 19 January 2025 in Inglewood, Taranaki, as part of an annual summer series in the New Plymouth area. The event begins at TOPEC, featuring primarily off-road courses that highlight the natural beauty of the Taranaki region. Participants have the option of a flat course or a more challenging route with a steady climb to Lake Mangamahoe, catering to various fitness levels and preferences.
This all-ages event encourages family participation, allowing individuals to choose from multiple course options that accommodate different abilities. Notably, the series promotes sustainability by being a cup-free event, requiring participants to bring their own cups or water bottles.
The Nexans Fun Run/Walk Series is a recurring event, with subsequent races scheduled in February 2025 and previously in December 2024, contributing to its established presence in the local running community.
