We Run The Night : Mount Maunganui, 1 May 2027
We Run The Night is an evening running and walking event held in Mount Maunganui with three course options.

- 5 km Run or Walk : 1 lap, open to all ages; children under 10 should be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them on course
The event headquarters and registration pick up are at Mt Drury on Mount Main Beach. Registration pack collection is available on the day and late entries are accepted at the event with a $10 late fee; card payments are not available so cash or online bank transfer must be used.
Facilities include a secure weatherproof bag storage tent at the start and finish area, spot prizes awarded randomly at the finish line, and water stations on course and at the finish. Approximate water station locations by distance are provided for each race.
Age group awards are presented separately for each distance with multiple age brackets for men and women and overall placings for the 5 km. Entries can be transferred up until the Thursday of event week at midnight. There is a course closure policy for the 21 km requiring walkers to maintain an average pace of 8.5 minutes per kilometre to start the fourth lap; if that pace cannot be maintained, event crew may move entrants to the footpath and entrants unable to meet cut offs will receive a finishers medal and a 10 km result placing.
