About the race
The Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence Christmas Dash is a seasonal community running event held in South Hagley Park, Christchurch. The event offers a 10 km race run as three laps of the South Hagley Park course and a Kids 3.2 km race run as one lap. The registration area and finish line are at the picnic area on Deans Ave, opposite Freyberg Ave; the 10 km start line is set back from that area near the corner of Deans and Riccarton Ave.
The park remains open to the public during the event. Facilities include nearby public toilets (south of the registration area by the rugby fields and across the road in North Hagley Park) and one aid station supplying water and Pure electrolyte drink. Entries are available online until the Friday before the event, with on-the-day cash entries accepted for an additional fee. Entry categories and fees are listed for each race; youth and concession pricing applies for eligible ages.
Parents or caregivers may accompany children in the 3.2 km race at no extra charge. Medals are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each event. Results and race photos are uploaded to the organiser’s website during the week after the event. A complimentary post-race breakfast is provided for participants; supporters may purchase breakfast.
