The Meadows Social Run & Walk
Saturday 4 April 2026
Our Winter Season will kick off with a one-hour group run & walk, suitable for all paces.
Meet at The Meadows Sprig+Fern, Richmond on 4th April for a group run or walk with Waimea Harriers. Everyone is welcome.
Runners and walkers all start at 2:30pm, but please be there at 2:25 pm for the briefing where the course will be explained.
Group runs / walks are a fun, non-competitive way to enjoy running or walking together. It’s perfect for all levels! This event is on an out-and-back course, where everyone starts at the same time then heads out to the Great Taste Trail. After 30 minutes, no matter how far you’ve gone, we all turn around and head back. This way, faster runners cover more distance but everyone finishes together. It's up to you whether you push it in silence or plod to chat (or something in between).
It’s a social run, so you’ll naturally fall into smaller groups with others running at your pace. It’s a great chance to meet new people, share the experience, and enjoy a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
Note that this course crosses Lower Queen Street twice, so children will require parental supervision.
There’s no registration and no timing for this event, so Webscorer numbers are not needed.
Enjoy a drink & time together at the Sprig + Fern The Meadows afterwards!
