Lugtons Round the Bridges

Lugtons Round the Bridges is a proud Hamilton event that continues to grow and evolve while remaining firmly grounded in the community it serves. Each year, thousands of people come together to celebrate movement, connection and wellbeing through one of the Waikato’s most inclusive, enduring and accessible community events.

Established by the Hamilton Harriers Club in 1945, Round the Bridges was founded to encourage participation, enjoyment and excellence in running and walking. As we look to the future, our focus is not just on delivering a successful event, but on ensuring we remain accessible, affordable, and relevant for generations to come, inspiring participation across all ages — particularly young people — creating positive, memorable first experiences in sport and physical activity.
