Stop waiting
for race day.
Your longest run of the block, New Balance's newest shoe, one very good sunrise. Pick your distance — 10KM, 15KM or 20KM — and come run it with us along the coast, then launch the SC Rebel v1 with the crew.
RSVP — it's free→ No entry fee. Choose your distance when you sign up.
Choose your distance
Three routes, one start line. Run your own long run and still finish with everyone else.
The shake-out
Easing into the block, coming back from a niggle, or just here for the coffee after. Easy effort, all welcome.
The tempo builder
Steady effort, big coastal views, the sweet spot for most training blocks right now.
The peak long run
Marathon block, grinding it out. Bring your fuel strategy — we'll bring the crew to grind alongside you.
Built around your long run, not around a store opening
The Sunday hour
Sunday morning is where the real training happens — dawn miles, winter conditioning, the long run everything else in your week is built around. This is your long run, just with better company (and a new shoe to try).
Your Local Crew
The people you love training with on early mornings, running our coastal pathways, in the cold fresh air, with a hot drink waiting at the end.
Start & finish: New Brighton Pier
All three distances start and finish together at the Pier, sharing the same flat, scenic stretch of Marine Parade — you just peel off at your own turnaround point and regroup with everyone back at base.
- One flat footpath — wide, sealed, zero road crossings, so you can lock into pace and actually feel the shoe underfoot.
- Real turnarounds — the tracks below are the actual routes, GPS-recorded start to finish.
- Gear sorted — under-cover space near the library complex for bag storage and the shoe trial fleet.
Run in it before you commit to it
Grab a pair from the trial fleet on your way out — swap back at the finish, no strings attached.
SC Rebel v1
The headline act. Carbon-fibre propulsion and serious energy return — bring your race pace to everyday training.
FuelCell Rebel
Snappy and versatile, with the direct ground feel if you're not into a plated ride.
Fresh Foam 1080
Maximum cushion for the 20KM crew — built for comfort deep into a long run.
Ellipse
Clean, lightweight, everyday — perfect if this is your first long run back.
