People keep asking about this so here it is! The red line on the map shows the 600m route which you run four times.





Start adjacent to the 'Water Whirler' sculpture by Frank Kitts Park. Run along the waterfront, over the lagoon bridge, past the big old crane on a boat, left over the small bridge and along the concrete area with Te Papa to your right. As you go past the wooden seating area by the duck pond you'll see a row of lamp posts. The first one has a rubbish bin attached to it; this is the turning point. Go around it and run all the way back to where you started, when you get to the 'Water Whirler' do a U-turn and do the whole lot again! Easy!

I really don't miss that run!

It doesn't look to bad at a glance but after hearing all the messages from those who have done it, Im a bit worried.

It's a cracker when the wind and rain chime in!!!

Don't make it worse dude! Hahaha. Man I cant wait for Pol Col. Lifelong dream, I get jealous everytime I see a cop or a cop car. I hope I dont screw it up

Tell me about it - exactly how i feel!

It doesn't look that far because it isn't. If you were jogging it's a warm up! But the speed you need to run at makes this hurt like hell! The wind will add a fair chunk of time to your run. As will the countless tourists getting in your way on the foot bridges. Don't be afraid to yell at people to get out of the way.

Hahaha, thanks for the advice ZE

Oh yes, the countless people getting in the way! Plus the wind and rain. Fabulous!

anyone in welly that wants or needs a training partner. i'm 25, so needing to run it in 10min 15secs, and would definately be interested in training with someone.

let me know

cheers

I could possibly head for some training runs, I am going to be doing my test in palmy but will be practising in wellington

Where abouts in Wellywood would u train?

I can ether go to welly water front or aotea lagoon in porirua

Well I live in the Bay, so Aotea Lagoon is just across the harbour for me however, Im only 16 and will probably just slow you down. I really do need to start training though, I want to get the test in by the end of the year.

16?
