Thank you for your support!
2 December 2025
We can’t believe the Awa Run 2025 has wrapped up - we’re still buzzing from the event!
The students were nothing short of amazing: They pushed through blisters, heat, rain, and fatigue with resilience and determination while lifting each other up, we couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them.
The heart of the Awa Run lies in every student who takes part, fostering a deep connection with the awa and fundraising to further our mission. None of this would have been possible without your incredible support, and for that, we are deeply grateful. A huge thank you goes out to Cullinane College, the kai crew, Te Puke Marae, Hiruāharam (Patiarero) Marae, and the wider Awa community for your unwavering support.
We also want to acknowledge our incredible sponsors who contributed in so many ways throughout the week:
Warehouse Whanganui
St John’s Club
Woolworth Whanganui
PaknSave Whanganui
ANZ Whanganui
Harrisons Hire Master
Mad Butcher Whanganui

ANZCO Foods
Crackerjacks Whanganui
We hope we haven’t missed anyone - your contributions have meant the world to us.
Ngā mihi nui, The Young Marist Team
