Registration is closed, and we look forward to hosting those joining us on Sunday. Please find below all the information that you need for race day:
Race packs and t-shirts are available for collection from Run Beyond. Please note that your race pack is required for entry to Karura as well as for timing, so make sure you have planned to collect before race day. There will be no distribution of race packs on the morning of the event.
Due to the lead time, we had to order the race t-shirts before registration. As a result of high demand for smaller sizes, unfortunately you may no longer be able to receive your preferred size. Please accept our appologies in advance if this is the case.
Please contact our team at [email protected] or on 0711 892032 if you require further support.

Races will be chip timed, so to ensure that your run is accurately timed please join the correct start for your distance.
The are multiple water points across the course and, depending on your distance, fruits and energy gels will also be provided. Water will be pre-served in paper cups. Please ensure that all cups and other rubbish are placed in the bins provided.
Each water point will also have a member of the FKF team and a qualified first-aider. If you require any assistance, or become aware of another runner requiring assistance, please notify a member of the team accordingly.
Water will also be available at the finish line. There will be cups provided, but in the interests of minimising waste, if you can bring your own reusable bottle it will be appreciated.
All post-race activities, refreshments and snacks have been generously provided by our race partners. On crossing the finish line, you will be given a set of coupons that can be redeemed with the respective partners.
