Butterfly Fun Run
Sunday, October 11, 2026 · Christchurch, New Zealand
About this race
The Groynes Reserve shapes this annual run, featuring mostly flat park and trail paths. The course winds peacefully through parkland and walking paths, avoiding sharp or technical sections. The Butterfly Fun Run offers a community morning feel, united by a clear purpose: to remember lost babies and support miscarriage awareness.
A gentle course unfolds through scenic reserve surroundings, suitable for families running or walking together without pressure to race. A finish-line edge remains with prizes for the top three finishers, best dressed, and spot prizes, maintaining a light mood within a supportive community atmosphere.
