NZ 24 Hour Championship 2025

The NZ 24 Hour Championship is a non-Summer Series Event that requires endurance from the runners and race walkers that participate. Not for the faint hearted, the NZ 24 Hour Championship allows runners and race walkers to see how far they can run or race walk over a 6, 12 or 24 hour time period. Participants are able to eat, drink and take small breaks for massage or rest. 

New Zealand Centurions are an elite race walking group that can walk 100 miles in one day. The event also allows for team relays so that teams of up to 6 runners or walkers can complete the 24 hour run or race by completing minimum one hour stints.

With spectator opportunities right through the day and night, this event is more likely to appeal to athlete support crews. Don’t worry - we’ll have you covered with vendors and food stalls to visit in between laps. We’ll look after our spectators so they can support their athletes!
