Get Glowing at the GetRunning PUMA Night Run!

GetRunning, Auckland’s leading running, coaching and marathon tour specialist, in conjunction with PUMA, is holding a charity 5km event through Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter next month. 

All proceeds raised will go to help the team of nine disabled Achilles New Zealand athletes, with whom GetRunning has partnered, get to this year’s New York Marathon.

Eighteen GetRunning runners have entered the New York Marathon via the Charity Entry program, which means that all the runners must commit to raise funds to support Achilles New Zealand in their quest to get a team to New York.

The PUMA Night Run route will start at 6:30pm on the corner of Jellicoe and Beaumont Streets and follow two laps of a course laid out through Wynyard Quarter, finishing by going over the gantry. Participants will make an electrifying sight, decked out in glowing accessories as they run or walk in the dark.

Key supporters of the event are PUMA, SOS, Burger Fuel, Ludus Magnus, PlayStation, Fabuleux Vous, Red Bull and Platinum Sports Co, with music, food and spot prizes on offer following the run!
