Aotearoa's highest run

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 14 October 2024

About 500 people turned out on Saturday to Christchurch's newest and New Zealand's highest park run.

Park runs are held weekly all over the world - they're free, 5km events that welcome runners, walkers, and volunteers.

Anna Phillips is one of the organisers for the new run and tells Jesse how it went down on the weekend.
