Racing Rod for Ranui

We’re taking on a marathon relay challenge to raise funds & awareness for Ranui House by attempting to match the legendary New Zealander, Rod Dixon’s iconic 1983 New York City Marathon winning time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 59 seconds! To do this we have gathered a group of everyday legends that will run in a relay format, each taking on a 200-meter leg of the marathon distance until we've covered the full distance of 42.195km. This event will take place during The Spectacle running festival in Nelson.

Ranui House is a lifeline for families who find themselves in Christchurch for life-saving medical treatment. These families often travel far from home, leaving behind their support networks, and face the emotional and financial strain of long hospital stays. Ranui House provides them with a home away from home—a place where they can stay close to their loved ones, receive comfort, and a sense of community during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

We're raising funds because we know firsthand how vital Ranui House is. The home away from home they provide can make all the difference for families going through the uncertainty and stress of medical treatment. Every donation helps Ranui continue to provide their incredible service.

Thanks for your support.
