Run for Us 2025
A fun run Fundraiser for Newlands Intermediate School. 11,000 km is our 2025 goal.
Newlands, Wellington
Newlands Intermediate School's annual “Run for Us” event will be held this year on Friday 21 March.
This is a major fundraising event for our school but just as importantly it provides an opportunity for our students to set goals focussed on a physical activity. The Run for Us encourages community participation in a fun event and fosters one of our core school values – participation and effort.
Every year we set our circuit at 500m which means that our students will be able to complete measurable distances i.e. 2 laps = 1 kilometre, 42 laps = 21km = a half marathon!
Students will run or walk throughout the day and keep a tally of how many laps they have achieved.
Please consider sponsoring one of our students as recognition of the distance they will cover or simply make a donation.
