A fun family event

Ready. Set. GLOW!

Join us on Saturday 2 May from 6pm, for a festival-style, 2.5km family-friendly glow run (or walk) through the iconic Eden Park.

KidsCan GlowRun, supported by ASB, will raise funds to help Kiwi kids in need as the colder months approach.

Right now, 1 in 7 Kiwi kids live in material hardship, growing up without essentials many of us take for granted. Every KidsCan GlowRun entry helps provide warm jackets and shoes so children can turn up to school warm, comfortable, and ready to learn this winter. 

What to expect

KidsCan GlowRun is an accessible event for all ages and abilities. Whether you move fast or take it slow — it’s all about bright energy and positive vibes. Bring your family, gather your friends and shine your light for Kiwi kids in need. 

✨ Glow through Eden Park on a 2.5km course  

✨ Live DJs and festival-style atmosphere 

✨ Glow zones, interactive games and plenty of photo moments 

✨Food trucks and GlowRun Village energy  

On the day gates open at 4pm, with the first wave lighting up the course from 6pm (you’ll choose your preferred wave time during registration).  

Get in early!

Buy your tickets for KidsCan GlowRun before 31 March 2026 and go in the draw to win a Lumix Camera (value of $1,059).

KidsCan GlowRun

We’re coming together for a bright purpose — and a whole lot of fun. Bring the good vibes and these GlowRun‑approved items:

  • Wheelchairs and medically required mobility aids. Absolutely welcome — we’re all about making GlowRun accessible for everyone.

  • Pushchairs and strollers. Roll on into the GlowRun Village! They just can’t join you on the course, but we’ve got pushchair parking ready and waiting.

  • Certified assistance dogs. Your glow‑loving support buddies are welcome too. Other pets will have to hear all about it when you get home.

  • Your appetite. Delicious food and non‑alcoholic drinks will be available to purchase at the event.
    (Please leave outside food and drink at home. The event is smoke, alcohol, and drug free)

  • Cameras. Snap all the glow‑tastic memories you want — but leave the drones behind so everyone can enjoy the night safely.
