ABOUT
The Conbrio 5k is part of the Northland Waste Kerikeri Half Marathon which is held on the 21 November 2020.
The new course for the Kerikeri 5k will see participants heading off-road this year and experiencing some of Kerikeri's spectacular trails and scenery including the Wairoa Stream Waterfall which has selfie written all over it. A Run/Walk event targeted at people who aren't quite up to the half marathon distance but still want to be involved in the big day.
The course requires little to some level of fitness, but we advise you to check out the photos below to get an idea on the terrain that you will be navigating.
Upon finishing, sit back, relax and take in the atmosphere of the Kerikeri Domain enjoying the food, live band and most importantly the prize giving.

Why can’t I get all my money back?
-
About 60-70% of costs are incurred (and spent!) well before race week begins. There are staff costs (wages), purchasing capital items (like a start gantry), marketing, accommodation, clothing, medals, timing.... the list goes on.
-
The big 'hidden' (because you will never see them) costs are associated with health and safety compliance, operational planning, people planning, landowner access etc. These can (and do) add up to hundreds of hours of work.
-
We are runners/walkers just like yourself who also enter events and understand from a participant point of view the frustrations of asking for a refund therefor we have done a bit of research and we believe we offer one of the fairest refund policies around.
