Sprig & Fern 10K Māpua

Local roads and pathways around Māpua set the tone: simple, social, and easy to understand. This is the "opening event in the Sprig & Fern Series", run by Waimea Harriers in the Tasman region, and it reads like a club afternoon rather than a large event. Expect a practical course on roads and paths, with runners and walkers sharing the same event. Individuals can run it solo, or pair up as a "two-person team", which suits beginners, social runners, and experienced runners "building up to longer distances". Teams sort their own transport to the halfway point, so plan that bit before race day.
