ZM Run Swim Series

Women from all over the Wellington region are invited to run and swim together over the coming months, and the series kicks off in Karori this Sunday.

The series consists of nine fun events for women involving a run or walk and a swim. One event will be in each of the seven Wellington city pools, as well as one in Upper Hutt and one in Lower Hutt.

The distances start small with a 2km run or walk and 200m swim, and get a little longer each time. You can complete each event by yourself or as part of a team. More than 1000 women got active last summer by participating.

Maps of the courses are displayed at each pool and entry forms, event details and a training programme are available on the Council's Feeling Great website and at the pools. The pre-race briefings will be held at 8.45am followed by a group warm-up. The runs will start at 9am.
