Course overview: Located in the Centre of Hamilton and nestled on the side of the mighty Waikato River, Hamilton Gardens offers picturesque views and wonderfully manicured gardens. Both the start and finish line are sat within the gardens with the course meandering throughout the gardens out towards the Waikato River. You will then trail along the undulating river banks lined with lush native bush.
Suitable for: Lovers of magical autumn colours. Great for first timers being a flat easy course. Also fantastic for experienced runners looking for a new PR.
Track Condition: 100% paved track
Elevation gain:
Short course – 93m
Mid course – 123m
Long course – 229m
Please note: As the Gardens are very busy on the weekends, it is recommended that you park on Grey Street which has an easy underpass access to the event venue within the Gardens.
Access to the event venue is via GATE TWO which offers some parking near the Camellia Garden.
