The Sharland Cycles Fun Run/Walk Series takes place on Wednesday evenings in November, December, February, and March, with the next event scheduled for 26 March 2025 at Club Waimea, located in Richmond, New Zealand. Registration is open from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM in the car park adjacent to the club, where participants can identify the area by the Waimea Harriers flag. A safety briefing is conducted at 6:05 PM, followed by a staggered start for walkers and runners.
Each event features a different course that encompasses a mix of pavements and trails, allowing participants to experience varied terrain and scenery throughout the series. The entry fee is $3, while school children and youth students can participate free of charge.
Organized by the Waimea Harriers, this series aims to encourage community engagement in physical activity. The event also serves as a platform for local runners and walkers to connect and enjoy the outdoors. Post-race amenities and activities are typically available at Club Waimea.
