We are Port Moresby Road Runners (POMRR). To see our current calendar of events, click the button below. We have been conducting running events on the streets of Papua New Guinea’s capital for the last 40 years. This is the welcome we give to everyone: “All runners, joggers & walkers are invited to participate. People with disabilities are especially welcome. Whether training for the 2024 Olympics or just in need of fresh air and friendly company, Road Runners is for you. No one is too fast, too slow or too old. Events start at 4:00pm every Saturday unless otherwise indicated. Entry fee for each event is 20 toea!” We pride ourselves in providing a welcoming, inclusive environment for all-comers. Most of our participants are Papua New Guineans and we have people of all walks of life taking part. 

None. We don’t believe in “cut-off times”. Take as long as you like and you will be greeted at the finish line with big Papua New Guinean smiles and given an official time.

You probably already know that PNG is not, in economic terms, a wealthy country. And not many of our members are wealthy, so just in case you are wondering what assistance you can provide to our ‘grass roots’ folk, here are two ideas: First, if you have any old running shoes or running apparel (shirts, shorts, caps etc) that you might no longer use, don’t throw them out but throw them in your suitcase and we will find them a new home in POM. We will be having our normal Saturday POMRR events on the afternoon before the marathon, so any gifts can be presented then. Secondly, you can sponsor one of our local runners, by paying their entry fee, this is best done by making a cash donation when prompted on the race entry portal.  Your generosity will be matched with the biggest smiles you are ever likely to encounter anywhere in the world.
