Run to Remember 21st Feb 2021
About The Press Run to Remember
For nearly the past decade each February, Sport Canterbury has delivered an event that is about reflection and community - The Press Run to Remember - a 10km run and walk in the Port Hills.
It has always brought together locals and visitors alike, given the inspiration it draws from our natural environment, the sense of adventure and community spirit Christchurch has become known for.
This event was created in 2012 to honour the lives lost in the Canterbury earthquakes, and has continued - along Summit Road and then down Rapaki Track - to bring communities together, and celebrate the benefits of being active to our physical and mental health.
In 2021, we recognise the 10th anniversary of the Canterbury earthquakes, and the sense of community and strength our city has become renowned for, around the world.
In the midst of a global pandemic, we recognise challenges to the health of our communities. We are aware that Cantabrians in particular have experienced significant stress and anxiety.
For this reason, to confirm our 2021 event date, we bring together a small group of Canterbury champions, who represent the hope and connection that will help us get through these challenging times - as a community.
