Entrants have just over two months to prepare for the annual Run to Remember event, where runners and walkers of all ages and abilities follow a course along the Port Hills from Victoria to Hansen Park.
Sport Canterbury chief executive Julyan Falloon says the route offers an opportunity to remember and reflect on those affected by the earthquakes. "We've all been impacted in different ways. There is no other experience where you take time to look over the city and reflect."

A couple of years ago a friend of my wife lend her a Mountain Buggy 3 wheels stroller, green one, with shade cover. The thing is I always thought she gave her away and by the time we moved house (nearly year ago, September 2017) I went to Resource Recovery Park 25 Range Street, Ashburton and dumped there. Don’t know if was destroyed or not, may be it was put up for sale in the shop, hopefully. Is here when I must ask to any one please, that bought a green stroller Mountain Buggy from that place I will appreciate if you out there could sell it to me please. This stroller has a huge sentimental value for this lady and I just destroyed without any questions. I will appreciate any help or information to try to take it back with the owner. Thanks a lot everyone.
