About the Event

The Welling10K returns to Wellington's scenic bays on Sunday, October 11, welcoming runners of all abilities for an unforgettable race day experience. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying the stunning coastal views, this fast and flat course offers something special for everyone.
Starting at Cog Park in Evans Bay, participants will choose between two potential routes determined by wind conditions leading up to the event: heading north towards Oriental Bay and back, or south toward the Airport. Both options offer breathtaking waterfront scenery as you run along Wellington's beautiful bays.
In addition to an official timing chip for accurate results, race finishers receive a commemorative patch and entry into age group prize categories. Group discounts are available for teams of five or more from schools, clubs, and corporates by contacting info@upliftsports.co.nz.
Join the vibrant atmosphere at Cog Park as runners celebrate their achievements rain or shine on October 11.
