Laps at the Lakes, Pāuanui
Laps at the Lakes is a timed running challenge held on 5 September 2026 at the Lakes Resort Golf & Country Club, Pāuanui (100 Augusta Drive). The event uses a 5.5 km loop inside the golf and country club.
Participants choose between the following race options:
- 6 hour challenge, individual or team
- 12 hour challenge, individual or team
The event is fully self-supported. There are no aid stations on course; water is available at the venue. Entrants may compete alone or as part of a relay team of up to six runners. Lap counting is managed by a public lap board where participants record their name under the chosen category.
Entry operates on a pay what you want basis. Fifty percent of any payment is donated to the I Am Hope charity. A processing fee of $1 plus 6% applies to those who elect to pay. Additional donations to the charity are possible.
Event registration and camp setup are simple: participants record their name on the lap board and set up a tent site in the designated carpark area. Competitors may operate from the back of their vehicle or from a gazebo. The venue provides ample parking, with overflow on Augusta Drive within walking distance.
The Clubhouse remains open during the event, offering a deck overlooking the course, food from the kitchen, a bar, and access to toilets and showers. A short prize giving is held at the conclusion of each challenge and participants receive a memento. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
