Running

The first Sunday in June sees the streets of Christchurch alive with vast numbers of runners and walkers taking part in the annual SBS Christchurch Marathon and associated events over 5 and 10 km. Even children get their own Marafun. Another great Christchurch running tradition is the annual City to Surf event which takes place in March each year. Going further afield, runners can tackle some challenges in the Canterbury back country with the Molesworth Run.
