The first-ever Sculpt Women’s 6k running and walking event will take place at Britomart on Sunday 4 December 2011. Designed to be a fun, inclusive event for women of all ages, abilities and fitness levels, it’s set out over a flat, buggy-friendly course comfortable for both running and walking.

The event consists of two laps of a three-kilometre circuit, starting and finishing at Takutai Square, looping out along Beach Road and The Strand and returning along Quay Street.

The entry fee is $40 and all entrants receive a goody bag. All event finishers also go into the draw for a brand-new Mazda2 hatchback.

Online entries close on 1 December 2011 at 11.59pm. You can also make a late entry while picking up your event packet at the Australis Room on Friday 2 December and Saturday 3 December (see below). Late entries will incur a late fee of $10.

Picking up your event packet

Event packets must be picked up at the Australis Room, 36 Customs Street East, Britomart, before the day of the event. Collection times are Friday 2 December, 10am to 8pm and Saturday 3 December, 9am to 3pm.

Your event packet will contain a timing chip and event bib that MUST be worn at the event, and your product sample goody bag. If you were one of the first 2000 entrants, you will also receive an event T-shirt with your packet.

You can get someone else to pick up your event packet for you. There will be no packet pick-up on event day.
