The Seasonal Scamper route showcases forest and river tracks in the Kaiapoi Island area. Our Parks and Forests team will be out on the tracks as marshals. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times during the event.
Wear your festive flair
Get into the seasonal spirit with a fun costume or dress your dog in their jolliest outfit for the event.
There will be small prizes for people and pets with the best costumes. After you’ve finished your scamper around the tracks, stay to enjoy a treat from the gelato truck or food you’ve brought from home. Toilets are available near the start and finish point.

Bring a foodbank donation
Seasonal Scamper is free to join, but we ask that you spread the festive cheer by bringing an unopened, non-perishable food item to donate. All donations will go to the Christchurch City Mission foodbank.
Food items in high demand at the City Mission include breakfast cereal, tinned food (especially tomatoes, tuna, spaghetti, creamed rice, and baked beans), rice, pasta, biscuits, crackers, muesli bars, instant noodles, pasta and risotto meal packs.
“Your donations will help us support those who need it most at what can be a very expensive time of year,” said Christchurch City Mission foodbank service team leader Kirsty Elstone.
