Te Ahumairangi Ten Thousand is a fun opportunity for Wellington runners to work together in packs and support each other in running fast times and personal bests. It is also an opportunity for road or trail runners who have not run on the track before to try it out in a supportive environment.
Te Ahumairangi Ten Thousand is sponsored by Te Ahumairangi Investment Management. The race also serves as the Wellington 10,000m championship and the Wellington Masters 10000m championship.
Our indicative schedule for the evening:
6pm B Race (Provisionally, for athletes slower than 40 minutes)
7pm: 10000m relay (teams of up to 25 athletes plus one team manager)
8pm: A Race (Provisionally, for athletes faster than 40 minutes)
$10 entry subscription.
Please sign up to run even if you don’t want to run fast. It helps the runners who are targeting a personal best if they’re surrounded by friends and club members who are running alongside them.
Please let us know if you can help on the day. In particular, we want lap counters and pacers to support our runners (32 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, 50 minutes, 55 Mins and 60 mins and other requested times).
