Manawatu Striders Super Sevens
Manawatu Striders Super Sevens is a seven-evening community run and walk series held on consecutive Tuesdays in January and February. Events start and finish in Ongley Park next to the YMCA on Park Road, Palmerston North. Participants may choose each night from these distances:
- 7 km
- 5 km
- 3 km
Entry options include a series pass that covers all seven nights and single-night entries. Series pass pricing is listed as $30 for an individual. Family series pass prices are $75 for a family of four and $85 for a family of five. Single-night entry is $5 per individual, family of four $15, and family of five $20. On-the-night entries are cash only. Series pass entrants receive a race bib to keep and must wear it visibly at the front during events; one-day entrants receive a coloured wrist band.
There is no formal timing service, but a finishers clock is available and participants can note times themselves. Drink stations are provided approximately halfway on Dairy Farm Road and at Fitzherbert Bridge, plus at the finish. First aid is available at the start and finish. For safety, bicycles and scooters are not permitted on course and dogs are not allowed. Children in buggies may take part but must be managed with awareness of others. No refunds or entry transfers are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
