22km Half Marathon Course Map
This Half Marathon Course takes you along the same route as the 8.7km course past the Waitangi Golf course; instead of turning around and heading straight down the hill to the finish, you'll navigate to the Waitangi Mountain bike park via the Wairoa track and head into the Waitangi Forestry. During your time in the Waitangi forest, you'll have an exclusive opportunity for this event only to run along some of the mountain bike trails that the Waitangi mountain bike park has to offer; you'll run the forestry roads and loop back through the Waitangi mountain bike park and head towards the finish area via the historic Waitangi Treaty grounds to the Village green.
Footwear – The majority of the course is roads and footpaths. We recommend wearing Trail shoes due to the unpredictable surface conditions within the Waitangi Mountain bike Trails.
