About the race
The Manawatu Striders Super Sevens is a seven‑week running and walking series held on consecutive Tuesdays: 12 January, 19 January, 26 January, 2 February, 9 February, 16 February and 23 February. Events are based at the YMCA on Park Road, Palmerston North, with courses starting and finishing in Ongley Park.
Participants can choose from these course distances:
- 7 km
- 5 km
- 3 km
Series pass entrants receive a race bib on first attendance which must be worn on the front and kept for subsequent nights. One‑day entrants receive a coloured wrist band. There is no race timing service; a finishers clock is available for personal time checks. Drink stations are provided about halfway on Dairy Farm Road, at Fitzherbert Bridge, and at the finish line. First aid is available at the start and finish area.
Bikes, scooters and dogs are not permitted on course for safety reasons. Children in buggies are allowed but must remain aware of others and any child on foot must be registered. Entry pricing includes a series pass for all seven events, family concession passes, and per‑night cash entries; there are no refunds and entries are not transferable. A banana and sausage sizzle are provided at the finish line. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
