Leith Harbour Free 5/10 km – June 2026

Kitchener Street, outside Watercooled Sports, serves as the start-finish area. The course heads out and returns along the East Harbour shared path. This marks the 84th occasion for this event, maintaining the traditional character of a free time trial rather than a large commercial race. The appeal lies in "Dunedin’s scenic Te Aka Ōtākou shared harbour path" and a club-organized morning where timing is important, yet the atmosphere remains easygoing. Underfoot conditions consist of flat, shared-path running. The turnaround is at a designated point, with the return journey following the same route. This setup simplifies pacing and course navigation. Runners, walkers, wheelchair users, and those with prams utilize the same harbour-side path, contributing to its practical, local character. Anticipate a "community time-trial format" and an enjoyable harbour route characterized by strong community spirit.
