New Zealand Red Cross works in communities across Aotearoa and around the world to help improve the lives of vulnerable people. Whether it’s responding to disasters like the Kaikoura earthquakes and the Edgecumbe flooding, teaching life-saving skills to children, delivering a hot meal, supporting former refugees or providing a lift to hospital, our volunteers and members are doing good things in neighbourhoods around the country and overseas. By choosing to run for Team Red Cross, you will ensure we can be here for good to help the people who need it most.
When you commit to being a Charity Hero and running for Team Red Cross and raising funds you get:
• Free entry into your chosen race
• A really cool Red Cross Dri-Fit runners t-shirt
• Fundraising pack, full of tips and advice, plus professional one-on-one support from Red Cross staff
• Training guides for all levels
• Sports massage voucher when you reach $500 in donations
• Free transport (ferry or coach) to the race start location
• Personalised charity photograph, race bib and thank you certificate
• Entry to the Team Red Cross Facebook group
• Official Charity Runner medal when you’ve finished the race
• Post-race celebration at our Red Cross tent in Victoria Park, where you can relax, enjoy a meal and chill out with family and team mates
'Own Place Runner' option
If you don't think you can raise $1,000, no worries! You can still register to run for Red Cross as an 'own place runner'. Own place runners do not receive their registration for free and you can set your own fundraising target. However, you will still be part of the team, receive one-on-one support from Red Cross and get rewards for reaching milestone targets, like the dry fit T shirt attached when you reach $500!
