About Movementearth
We are a New Zealand-based platform dedicated to helping people discover walking routes, cycling paths, and urban activities in their local communities.
Our Story
Built for Active New Zealanders
Founded in Picton, Marlborough, movementearth began as a small community project mapping local walking and cycling routes. Today, we serve active explorers across multiple regions with curated guides, event listings, and neighbourhood activity resources.
Our team combines local knowledge with practical route planning to make everyday movement accessible, enjoyable, and connected to the landscapes that define Aotearoa.
