Wellington Rape Crisis 5km Fundraiser

Clyde Quay Wharf defines this run: easy to locate, waterside, and relaxed from the outset. The Wellington Rape Crisis 5km Fundraiser is an "untimed community run/walk event" with almost 50 years of local backing for the cause, gathering "vital funds" for free services supporting "survivors of sexual harm." It feels more like supporting your community than racing the clock. The course is flat and fast around the bays, beginning at Clyde Quay Car Park in Te Aro, with road, path, and park surfaces. Beginners, families, walkers, joggers, runners, and those rolling the route are all welcome; the aim is that it is "inclusive of all participants" and genuinely low-pressure. Prizes and finisher medals are awarded, giving the morning a proper race-day feel without becoming a hard-edged competition.
