Coming soon

boy with glow sticks

Ready. Set. GLOW!

Join us on 2 May 2026 for a festival-style, 2.5km family fun run at 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 lives 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  

Planning ahead
