Scottish Night of Miles, Newtown Park Track: Saturday 16 December

Save the date for this year’s Night of Miles. The event will have all the usual festivities (yes, that includes Santa of course). This year we’ll be supporting the Porirua chapter of Trailblazers that provides kids with mentors/gear and other support to get out and enjoy running. Stay tuned for more details.

The Night of Miles is returning on 16 December for an afternoon of pre-Christmas fun for the whole family! From 4pm to 6:30pm, come and run a mile around the track (that’s only 4 laps!), chase Santa, win the chocolate, and help young kids getting into our sport as we are supporting the Porirua chapter of Trailblazers. So get your festive spirit on, and enter here before Friday 15 December. The $10 entry fee will go to Trailblazers, but if you have any issues with the payment, please get in touch with Emily Solsberg or Nico Vessiot.
