The Whangārei Half Marathon features a range of event options, including the Half Marathon, an 8.9km run/walk , and a 4.4km fun run/walk.
The Half Marathon course highlights some of Whangārei’s most impressive scenery, taking participants past sweeping harbour and coastal views, through the Town Basin Sculpture Garden, and across both the Te Matau A Pohe Bridge and Kotuitui Whitinga Footbridge. With drink stations available approximately every 3km and entertainment dotted along the route, the course offers both challenge and atmosphere.
Prefer a shorter distance? The 8.9km and 4.4km options provide an accessible and enjoyable way to experience the beauty of the Hātea Loop, a route that continues to be a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike.
Be part of one of Whangārei’s signature running events and experience the city on foot at its best.
