Big-hearted people needed in Wellington!
We’d love for you to be part of the Wellington Marathon this year on Sunday 1 July. You’d be helping the more than 186,000 Kiwis who are living with heart disease...these are people we love; people in our families and communities.
This year we need to raise $20,000 to help fund much needed heart research and specialist training for cardiologists – will you support us in this goal?
There are so many ways you can help:
- Join the Heart Racer team
- Become an event volunteer on the day
- Donate to the Heart Racer fundraising page
We look forward to seeing you there!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
