Otumoetai FC - Marathon Week!

Whilst in COVID-19 lockdown we continue to wait for the start of the football season. New Zealanders are doing a fantastic job of self-isolation and we hope this will all be over soon.

Exercise plays a key part in people’s mental health and we have created a few active challenges for our youth/senior players to keep motivated and active for when football does resume!

Next week (13th - 19th April) is Marathon week! The players/parents will be required to run 42 kilometres in 7 days.

We thought this idea presented a great opportunity to be able to fundraise for Good Neighbour who do some great work in our community, even more so during this difficult time. To find out more about Good Neighbour go to:

All participants will be required to adhere to and respect the Alert level 4 COVID-19 lockdown protocols including exercising separately and staying local. Please click the following link for more details on each person’s self-isolation requirements under Alert level 4:
