The Honest 10 is a monthly fun run held on an accurately measured 5km and 10km course around the Wellington waterfront. Both distances start and finish outside Freyberg Pool in Oriental Bay and follow a flat out-and-back route heading south along the water, with the 10km turning at the wind needle and the 5km turning at an earlier point. The event is organised by WHAC and sets out to provide a fast, fun and friendly environment for runners and walkers of all levels.
