The Selwyn Stampede Running & Walking Festival is scheduled for 16 February 2025, taking place at Foster Park in Rolleston. This event features a flat and fast course that consists of a 5km loop, extending through the scenic Foster Park and into the Faringdon subdivision.
The festival includes a variety of events designed for participants of all ages, including a dedicated kids’ event, individual running and walking options, and a family challenge that encourages families to complete the loop together. Unique to this festival is the corporate challenge, where teams of four members each complete segments of the 5km course, fostering teamwork and camaraderie among participants.
The event not only promotes physical activity but also provides a community atmosphere, allowing for engagement among participants and spectators. Post-race amenities and activities are typically available, contributing to a festive environment for all attendees.
