SHOE CLINIC ASICS 5K SERIES
The Shoe Clinic Asics 5K Series consists of 5 weeks of events for runners and walkers wanting to run or walk in a 5KM event. Hosted by the Port Hills Athletic Club in the beautiful Hagley Park, Christchurch, this event has something for everyone, including a 1.6KM run for ages 14 and under. The first race is 5:30pm which is the 1.6km event for ages 14 and under only. 5:45pm for the 5km Athletics NZ registered race and 6:15pm for the 5km fun run and walk.
NEW 2019 - The Press 3 x 1 Mile Relay
This year we have a new event. The Press 3 x 1 Mile Relay. This will be run at the same time as the registered runners event at 5:45 so will be a unique challenge to try and keep pace with some of the top Canterbury runners over a much shorter distance.
2019 Series Dates
January 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th and February 5th.

Event Information
Taking place at North Hagley Park on Tuesday evenings in January and February, this is one of the most popular and established athletic events in Christchurch. Each evening, there are races for Athletics New Zealand registered athletes, recreational runners and walkers as well as children 14 years and under.
With the support of our sponsors there is a great range of spot prizes each evening and valuable series performance prizes for runners in the registered races.
North Hagley Park is in the centre of the city, making access very easy and the entry fee is purposefully kept low to encourage people and families to compete in all five runs. The Shoe Clinic Asics 5K Series is a great opportunity to help keep in trim shape over the summer holidays and to see some of Christchurch’s best runners in action in the registered races.
