Hātea Run Night Series: Tikipunga Sports Park

The Hātea Run Night Series is a winter event located in various areas around Whangarei. The fourth event in the series is scheduled to take place at Tikipunga Sports Park on 9 July 2025.

The course begins at the Tikipunga Football Club and makes its way through the sports park, reaching the Hātea River, and continues to Vinegar Hill Road where it turns around.

One distinctive feature of these runs is that they occur in the dark, necessitating the use of a headlight or torch for the participants; without a light, participants will not be able to run.

For more information, please refer to the event’s website or Facebook page.

The event is organized by Hātea Run. The next event in the Hātea Run Night Series is scheduled for 16 July 2025, while the previous one took place on 2 July 2025.
