This list is compiled by stalking event facebook pages and volunteer rosters for Christmas and New Year runs. I don’t take any responsibility for an event not listed.
This will be updated regularly but any event not declared by December 13 will be assumed as not hosting a special event. Please check event pages for late cancellations.

Owairaka is definitely not on either day either. Maybe next year.
I think it’s a great event once a parkrun is established as otherwise it makes filling the volunteer roster harder (especially given it’s a Friday this year and normal parkrun is the net day).
I do believe Wanaka is doing New Year’s Day but not Christmas Day. Which works well – Queenstown Xmas Day, Wanaka NYD but neither doing both ????
Thanks, makes it easy for parkrunners down that way.
Greytown Woodside Trail will be on Christmas Day and New Years Day
Thanks Di, has been added in.
Yay! Thanks for this!
My pleasure! Happy parkrunning!
Bugger, turns out Wanaka have decided against a NYD run. Sorry about that.
No harm done, I hadn’t added as I’d not heard it from the ED team.
Lower Hutt are taking a break from both this festive season.
looks like Kapiti is doing both ?
