About
WoRM is proud to again be part of the Big Morning Run for Mental Health Awareness Week - we are planning Mt Vic trails with multiple pace option and as always open to everyone!!!
Join clubs, communities, friends and organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand on Friday 16 October 2026 as we come together for the Big Morning Run. We plan to join up with Scottish, the Earlybirds and Frictoria on the day!
This year’s MHAW theme is belonging – what better way to mark it than by coming together with the people around us? Whether you run, walk, chat or simply share a coffee afterwards, the Big Morning Run is a chance to connect with others in the community and start the day positively. Because sometimes, simply knowing you belong can make a big difference.
•
Meet at the Waitangi Park Playground at 6:30am & Join us for a morning run or walk - everyone's welcome! We'll head up Mt Victoria via the trails. It will be around 5-6km at a fairly easy pace.
• Stick around for coffee and connection afterwards: Raglan Roast is nearby for people who have time for coffee
• If you're able, Morning runs and coffee go hand in hand, and while we’re connecting at the Big Morning Run, we are inviting those who are able to ‘buy the Mental Health Foundation a coffee’. Just the price of your morning drink of choice will help them reach more New Zealanders who need support - easy at

• Move. Connect. Support. #BigMorningRunThis would be a perfect first time WoRM run for any lurkers out there who have wanted to get involved - and to raise awareness all round the country for such a good promotion that I know a lot of us strongly believe in
