The promotion is governed by New Zealand law.

Entries received before or after the Promotion Period will not be accepted.

The Promoter may request reasonable proof of an entrant’s identity, age and New Zealand residency before confirming them as the winner.
5. How to enter
Entrants may enter through the mailing-list, Instagram and purchase entry channels described below. Entrants may use more than one entry method, subject to the entry limits set out in Section 6.
A. Mailing-list entry
An entrant will receive one entry by:
- scanning the promotion QR code displayed at the Taupō expo; and
- agreeing to join The Running Store’s email mailing list.
Only one mailing-list entry is available per person.
New subscribers consent to receiving marketing emails from The Running Store. They may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in each email.
Unsubscribing after submitting a valid entry will not invalidate the entrant’s giveaway entry.
An incomplete form, invalid email address, duplicate submission or submission that cannot reasonably be verified may be rejected.
B. Instagram entry
An entrant will receive entries by completing the following during the Promotion Period:
- following The Running Store’s official Instagram account, @therunningstorenz; and
- tagging one friend in a comment on the official giveaway post.
Each different friend tagged in a separate comment will count as one entry.
Entrants may submit multiple entries by tagging additional friends in separate comments. The same friend may only be tagged once by each entrant, and duplicate tags will not provide additional entries.
The entrant must continue to follow The Running Store until the winner has been confirmed so that their entries can be verified.
Tagged accounts must belong to genuine individuals. Fake, automated, duplicate, business-only or otherwise invalid accounts may not be accepted.
Entrants must not tag people they do not know or use misleading, inappropriate or spam-based tagging practices. The Promoter may remove or reject entries that it reasonably considers to be spam, fraudulent or inconsistent with these terms.
C. Instagram Story bonus entry
An entrant who has completed the standard Instagram entry may receive one additional entry by:
- sharing the official giveaway post to their Instagram Story during the Promotion Period; and
- tagging The Running Store’s official Instagram account in the Story.
Only one Instagram Story bonus entry is available per person.
The entrant’s Story must be live and visible for the normal Instagram Story period.
Entrants with private Instagram accounts must send The Running Store a screenshot of the Story by direct message before the Promotion Period closes. The screenshot must clearly show the shared giveaway post and The Running Store tag.
The Promoter is not responsible for Story tags, mentions or direct messages that are not received or cannot be viewed or verified.
D. Purchase entry
An entrant will receive one purchase entry by making an eligible purchase from The Running Store during the Promotion Period.
Eligible purchases may be made through The Running Store’s New Zealand website.
There is no minimum purchase value.
Only one purchase entry is available per person during the Promotion Period, regardless of the number or value of purchases made.
The entrant must provide sufficient contact information with the purchase for the Promoter to identify and contact them. A cash purchase made without the entrant providing their name and contact details cannot be entered into the draw.
Cancelled, fraudulent or fully refunded purchases will not qualify. If an eligible purchase is fully refunded before the prize draw, the related entry will be removed.
Purchase contact details will not be added to The Running Store’s marketing mailing list unless the customer separately chooses to subscribe.
6. Maximum number of entries
Each entrant may receive:
- one mailing-list entry;
- one Instagram entry for each different friend tagged in a separate comment on the official giveaway post;
- one Instagram Story bonus entry; and
- one purchase entry.
There is no overall maximum number of Instagram tagging entries, provided each entry tags a different genuine individual in a separate comment.
Tagging the same person more than once will not provide additional entries.
Only one mailing-list entry, one Instagram Story bonus entry and one purchase entry are available per person.
Entries cannot be transferred to another person.
Entries submitted using false details, automated systems, fake accounts or multiple email addresses controlled by the same person may be disqualified.
7. Prize
The prize is:
One Garmin Forerunner 170 Music (colour of the winner's choice), with a recommended retail value of NZ$679.
The prize includes the Garmin watch only and the standard items supplied by the manufacturer with that model.
There is one prize and one winner.
The prize is not transferable, exchangeable or redeemable for cash or store credit.
The winner cannot request a different Garmin model, size, colour or product.
The Promoter will take reasonable steps to provide the prize exactly as advertised. If the advertised prize becomes unavailable for reasons genuinely outside the Promoter’s control, the Promoter may substitute it with a Garmin watch of equal or greater recommended retail value.
Any applicable statutory rights are not affected.
8. Winner selection
All valid mailing-list, Instagram tagging, Instagram Story bonus and purchase entries will be combined into one prize draw.
The winner will be selected at random from all valid entries.
The draw will take place on Wednesday 5th August 2026 at 1pm NZST at The Running Store, Auckland.
The Promoter’s staff may supervise and record the draw for verification purposes.
The Promoter’s decision regarding entry eligibility, verification and the result of the draw is final, subject to applicable New Zealand law.
9. Winner notification
The provisional winner will be contacted using the contact details or Instagram account connected with their winning entry.
Depending on the winning entry method, contact may be made by:
- email;
- telephone;
- Instagram direct message; or
- the details associated with the qualifying purchase.
The Running Store will only contact the winner using its official business email address, telephone number or official Instagram account. The Running Store will never ask the winner to pay a fee or provide credit-card information to claim the prize.
The provisional winner must respond within three working days of the Promoter’s first contact attempt and provide any information reasonably required to verify their eligibility and entry.
The provisional winner will not be confirmed as the winner until their eligibility and entry have been verified.
10. Redraw
The Promoter may conduct a redraw if the provisional winner:
- cannot be contacted within three working days;
- does not respond within three working days;
- cannot provide the requested verification;
- is found to be ineligible;
- has breached these terms; or
- declines the prize.
Any redraw will be conducted randomly from the remaining valid entries.
The same verification and response requirements will apply to a replacement winner.
11. Prize delivery
The Promoter will arrange for the prize to be collected from The Running Store or delivered to a valid New Zealand address at no cost to the winner.
The method of delivery or collection will be agreed with the confirmed winner.
The Promoter is not responsible for delivery delays caused by incorrect information provided by the winner or events outside the Promoter’s reasonable control.
Risk in the prize passes to the winner once the prize has been collected or delivered to the address provided by the winner.
12. Public announcement
The Promoter may publicly announce the confirmed winner’s first name, surname initial and town or city through The Running Store’s website, email newsletter or social-media accounts.
Any use of the winner’s photograph, full name, testimonial or other promotional content will require the winner’s separate agreement.
13. Privacy
The Promoter will collect and use entrants’ personal information for the purposes of:
- administering the promotion;
- verifying entries;
- conducting the prize draw;
- contacting and confirming the winner;
- arranging delivery or collection of the prize;
- preventing fraudulent or duplicate entries; and
- meeting the Promoter’s legal obligations.
For entrants using the mailing-list entry method, the Promoter will also use the supplied email address to send The Running Store marketing emails, in accordance with the consent provided when entering.
Personal information collected through a purchase entry will not be used for email marketing unless the entrant has separately consented to receive marketing emails.
The Promoter may use service providers, including Mailchimp, Shopify, Meta and other technology or fulfilment providers, to administer the promotion and securely process information on the Promoter’s behalf. Some information may be processed or stored outside New Zealand.
Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.
Entrants may request access to or correction of their personal information by contacting admin@therunningstore.co.nz

14. Instagram conditions
This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Instagram or Meta.
Each entrant completely releases Instagram and Meta from any responsibility or liability connected with the promotion.
Entrants must comply with Instagram’s terms of use and community guidelines. Entrants must not inaccurately tag content or encourage others to do so.
Instagram and Meta are not responsible for administering the promotion, selecting the winner, supplying the prize or responding to questions about the promotion.
Questions about the promotion must be directed to The Running Store and not to Instagram or Meta.
15. Invalid entries and disqualification
The Promoter may reject or disqualify an entry where it reasonably believes that:
- the entry is incomplete, false, misleading, fraudulent or automated;
- the entrant has attempted to obtain more entries than permitted;
- the entrant has interfered with the entry process or prize draw;
- the entrant does not satisfy the eligibility requirements;
- the entry cannot reasonably be verified;
- the entrant has breached these terms; or
- accepting the entry would be unlawful.
The Promoter may remove offensive, abusive, inappropriate or spam comments from the Instagram giveaway post without notice.
16. Technical problems
The Promoter is not responsible for entries that are lost, delayed, misdirected, incomplete or not received because of:
- internet, website or email failures;
- QR-code or form errors;
- Instagram privacy settings;
- Instagram outages or platform restrictions;
- failed Story tags or mentions;
- incorrect contact information;
- device or telecommunications problems; or
- circumstances outside the Promoter’s reasonable control.
The Promoter will take reasonable steps to correct any issue within its control.
17. Changes, suspension or cancellation
The Promoter will not change the material conditions of the promotion after it has begun, except where reasonably necessary to address fraud, illegality, a significant technical failure or circumstances genuinely outside the Promoter’s control.
If the promotion cannot operate fairly or lawfully, the Promoter may suspend, postpone or cancel it. Where reasonably possible, entrants will be notified through the same channels used to promote the giveaway.
Nothing in this clause allows the Promoter to avoid awarding the prize merely because the promotion received more entries than expected.
18. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Promoter will not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury arising from participation in the promotion or acceptance or use of the prize, except where that loss, damage or injury results from the Promoter’s negligence or where liability cannot legally be excluded.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under New Zealand law.
19. General
If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue to apply.
A failure by the Promoter to enforce a provision of these terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
These terms are governed by New Zealand law, and entrants submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
