Sunday, 9 Mar 2014: Hutt News Fun Run, McEwen Park, Petone ×
The Hutt Valley Harriers in conjunction with the Hutt News are holding the 23rd 5km/10km Fun Run on Sunday 9 March 2014.

The event starts and finishes at McEwen Park, Petone, and runs along the scenic Hutt River trail to Ava (for the 5km) and Melling (for the 10km).

The 10km run and walk commence at 9:00am and the 5km run and walk commence at 9:30am.

For the 10 years and under there is a 1km fun run at 11:00am

The Hutt News Fun Run & Walk is an event for everyone from first timers to families and parents with buggies.
The event is growing in popularity and every year a number of competitive runners turn up to race along the banks of the Hutt River in the 10k run. For most of us the challenge is just to finish, but for these few elite, they are out to win.

For the first time in 2014 there will be a $200 CASH PRIZE for both the first placed male and female runners in the 10k run event if they beat previous years’ best times.

The times to beat are:
Men: 34m 48s (Brian Garmonsway’s time from 2012)
Women: 42m 33s (Julie Johnson’s time from 2013)

In addition to these cash prizes, all entrants in the 5km and 10km events are eligible for thousands of dollars of spot prizes that are up for grabs.
