Matariki King and Queen of the Mountain 2026
The event is a community mountain run held in Auckland at 744 Sandringham Road, Wesley, Auckland 1041, New Zealand. The club runs up its maunga as part of a Matariki Friday gathering. Distances offered include:
- 5k for adults
- 2.5k for tamariki
The event is open to everyone and accommodates both competitive and social running. Participants can collect race bibs at a registration desk in the club rooms and will jog to the start together. After the runs, tea and soup are provided for attendees.
This race has been organised by the club for many years and has taken place on Matariki Friday since the public holiday began. The programme includes on-site registration and a group warm up jog to the start. The focus is on marking Matariki with a community activity on the maunga and a shared gathering afterwards.
