Challenge yourself with fellow runners and walkers this Holiday Season

Do you have a goal set for 2021? Maybe a bucket list race to train for, or just to move more on a daily basis. Here at Ronhill NZ we are all about setting personal challenges and working hard to achieve results and so we have devised the 12 Days of Christmas Kickstarter to create a community of like-minded people. It’s all about encouraging each other to keep moving over the festive season and to get outdoors in this great country of ours, enjoying the Summer weather. We have 2 options to hopefully offer something for everyone:

Option 1 - The Partridge in a Pear Tree

Starting on the first day of Christmas (Christmas Day itself) and for each of the subsequent 12 days, head out to run/walk a minimum of 1 mile (1.6km). This is a great way to keep things ticking over when it would be easy to come up with excuses not to and it is also an excellent way to get started if walking/running is new to you. Just be sure to start slowly if you are a beginner with only walking and build up sensibly to running within your ability.

Option 2 - The French Hen

Again starting on the first day of Christmas (Christmas Day itself) you will run/walk just 1km but each subsequent day the distance increases by 1km. So on day 2 you run/walk 2km, day 3 run/walk 3km and so on until you do 12km on the 12th day. This option is not for the feint-hearted and definitely not for beginners. The load will be stacking up towards the end and your legs will be feeling it, but what a fun challenge to get the year started.

Whichever option you choose we will be here to cheer you one, virtually speaking, and will have some fantastic spot prizes to offer along the way. These will include, not only some amazing Ronhill gear, but also entries to our fantastic sponsored events such as Run Auckland, the Harcourts Beach Series and the Huntly Half Marathon.

What a fantastic way to see in 2021. We look forward to running/walking with you!
