Get your sweat on and raise funds for mental health at Auckland Round the Bays!
Make your run or walk matter at Auckland Round the Bays. Sweat for charity and let the thousands of Kiwis struggling with mental health issues know that they are not alone. The more money you raise, the more Kiwis in distress we can reach with our life changing resources. So, please, go hard with your fundraising, knowing that every cent raised will make a serious difference. We'll be here to support you every step of the way.
You don't need to be a runner to sign up! There's something for everyone!
