Get ready for Chch’s iconic fun run
THOUSANDS OF Cantabrians from
all walks of life are starting their
preparations for The Star City2Surf
with Mike Pero on Sunday, March 19.
Entries are now open for the 43rd
running of the event.
In the past, the 14km event (starting
at Centennial Park) has been
seen as for runners only, but with
the introduction of the very popular
Sport Canterbury 6km event (starting
at Hansen Park), this fun run is really
about movement, whether it be running,
jogging or walking.
Both events finish at Ferrymead
playing fields, which will be full of
family entertainment and prizes. The
fun run is also free to participants
under 10-years-old.
Next year’s The Star City2Surf with
Mike Pero is proudly supporting
Aviva family services.
Looking to inspire others to put

on the running shoes and get to the
finish line are the Diaz family.
The family began its journey to a
healthy lifestyle through a Facebook
page Hungry4Hauora. It highlights
the family’s journey of ups and downs
on the way to a healthy lifestyle.
Normally very camera shy, Rudolph
and wife Telena want to inspire others,
especially the Maori and Pacific
community.
After just two months of regular
exercise and nutritious eating, Mr
Diaz says he has already noticed a difference
in his energy levels and skin
health.
Working as a health and well-being
adviser at He Waka Tapu, Mr Diaz
is urging others who are looking to
lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle,
to use The Star City2Surf with Mike
Pero as a vehicle for change.
He Waka Tapu had 600 participants
in the 2016 event and is aiming to
reach 1000 participants in 2017.
The family has already set about
getting active, regularly attending
training circuits with the Hale Compound
Conditioning organisation.
“A big part of the fitness group we
are in is to set goals throughout the
year. City2Surf is the main goal for a
lot of people in our group,” Mr Diaz
said.
Getting fit for the 6km or 14km
event will be just the start for the
family who are looking to get to their
goal weights by next October. Mr
Diaz is hoping to get from 140kg,
which he weighed two months ago,
down to 95kg.
ACTIVE: Rudolph and Telena Diaz are on a
journey to a healthy lifestyle, hoping to promote
nutrition and exercise to their two-year-old
daughter, Te Hiere Oromai, and others.
