Running the length of Aotearoa, NZ to raise money for charitable organisations supporting the Mental Health of all Kiwis.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Hi, thanks for being here! My name is Emily and my goal is to normalise conversations about mental health and raise money for mental health support in NZ!

I plan to run the entire length of New Zealand on the Te Araroa Trail in less than 54 days (that's an average of over 55km every day) in January/Feburary 2027. I plan to run south to north and will be supported by a crew throughout. My planning and training will be documented through Instagram, @run.aotearoa

Run Aotearoa for Mental Health is about naming what so many New Zealanders feel but don't say - because silence is often the most dangerous part of the struggle. There are far too many New Zealanders suffering in silence. I hope to not only raise funds, but spark real honest conversation.

Any support that you can offer to this mission, whether it's a donation or just engaging with this page or the journey on Instagram, would be greatly appreciated!
