The Honest 10 is a professionally and accurately measured 10km fun run event held once a month on a flat out-and-back course around the Wellington waterfront.
It starts by Freyberg pool carpark (allow plenty of time to get a park), and heads south towards the wind needle and back.
There’s also a 5km option that turns around earlier, with both options finishing back at the start.
Come along for an easy fun run or use it to test yourself over an accurately measured course – all welcome!
Registrations: From 8am
Start Time: 8:30am*

Options:
- The 7km course is an out and back on the early flat stages of the trail.
- The 14k course continues on the trail until the turnaround just before Ladle Bend bridge.
- The 21k course crosses Ladle Bend bridge and continues on the main rail trail. GWRC has made Back Road available again so the stream crossing and hill climb are back! We make the turn onto Back Road shortly after the 7km mark (just past the 14km turnaround near Ladle Bend bridge). The course continues in a clockwise loop eventually turning right, back on to the incline track. It's all downhill back to the finish at the Kaitoke Go Cart Club. Please note that the 21km starts approximately 425m down the road from Race HQ.
Most of the course is on gravel/dirt road and is suitable for both road and trail shoes.
