About the race
The Southern Cross Round the Bays Christchurch event on Sunday 21 February 2027 is an 8.4 km mass-participation run, jog or walk along Christchurch’s waterfront bays. The course runs from Tidal View in Ferrymead to Thomson Park and is described as flat, with the option near the finish to stay on the course or take a scenic route along the beach. The event is open to all ages. Infant entries (0-4 years) are free when registered; child and adult entry categories apply.
A range of start groups is used to group participants by expected pace and mobility: Elite Wheelchair/Disability & Elite Runner, CELSIUS Runner, ASB Jogger, and Walker and Non Elite Wheelchair/Disability. Those with buggies or pushchairs must register in the Walker group. Entry fees include GST and transaction fees and cover a finisher’s medal, finisher’s certificate, race bib and timing chip, on-course water stations and first aid, on-course entertainment, access to the finishers’ festival and sponsor activations, and event shuttle buses. Entries are not refundable but can be transferred to another person for a fee.
