• Walking & Running

As well as all of the well known benefits of walking and running, such as getting out in the  fresh air, reducing your stress levels and increasing your fitness, there are many other great reasons to get those limbs pumping...

Learn all about the city's arts and heritage or check out the town belt and reserves, in the countless different walkways and tracks around Wellington. Broaden your mind with the many educational guided walks available, where you'll learn about everything from sculptures to glow worms. Have fun and meet others, by participating in the many walking and running events held throughout the year.
