It’s been a few months since I have been back in New Zealand. Something that I am really passionate about is bringing people together on shared interests and building strong communities.

Wellington has a great running community and several prominent running groups. I’ve always wanted to share and promote Wellington as a running destination and connect all the groups and showcase to visitors where they can connect with other runners when visiting Wellington. So, with this in mind I’ve just registered and launched Run Wellington. Thanks to a few people who gave feedback and Orsi for writing content for the initial launch.

There is currently no commercial model or any idea of making this into a money-making venture, who knows that may change. I’ve kept everything to a minimum to keep the operating costs low for the site. I feel the domains we registered will eventually have some value as most things tend to.

Overall, we will share some of our favourite running routes in Wellington plus share some stories. I also want to advocate for the running community and represent a voice with the Wellington city council on any recreational activities involving the local trail network.
