The South Island Half Marathon is being held on Sunday 4th August 2024 at Lake Hood Ashburton. This beautiful lake will host the South Island Half Marathon and 1/6 Marathon. Held in the beautiful Lake Hood catchment, the run will see runners run around the lake and experience amazing water views throughout the run. Then some of the most amazing home and garden settings and reserves in the South Island.


South Island Half Marathon will cater for all runners; whether you’re a beginner or an elite runner, this fast-flat course will give you the opportunity to do one of the fastest half’s you’ve ever done.


On 4 August 2024, all Runners, Walkers and Hybrid participants in the Half Marathon will be automatically in the draw to win $5,000 if you finish in the exact Mystery Time to the last second.


There will be a walking section in both the ½ and 1/6 marathon, plus the Hybrid in the 1/2 marathon - "This allows you to run a bit and walk a bit". With the Kidz Dash being a 1.5km run, this giving them a flavour of the experience of running at the lake and subdivision.

The Minimum age for the Half Marathon is 13-years of age on Race Day and the 7km is 10-years of age on Race Day.


The Course is certified by a Certificated Road Racecourse Measurer for World Athletics. Grade and certified in corporation with AIMS.
