The Marathon will be held on 18 May 2024.
Running alongside the natural wonderland of coast, wineries, orchards, and Hawke's Bay countryside. Crossing a finish line where a bounty of food, wine and hospitality awaits.
The event courses are flat, easy running. They each offer a unique mix of running terrain, with a combination of running on-road and hard-packed limestone through orchards and past vineyards.
The courses take in the highlights of the Hawke's Bay region which include running along the waterfront in Napier, along the Hawke's Bay Cycle Trails and quiet country roads.
The Finish Line Event Hub at the stunning Elephant Hill Estate & Winery offers New Zealand's best finish line festival; where you can relax, soak up the atmosphere, refuel and enjoy celebrating your achievement with friends and family. You can make a day of it whilst cheering on other finishers, having a well-earned massage, enjoying the entertainment and the best of local Hawke's Bay food and wine. It's the kind of festive atmosphere you won't want to leave!
Once you have crossed the finish line there will be water, PURE nutrition, bananas, medical facilities and a rest area available immediately should you require them.
There will be great music, MCs keeping you up to date with snippets of event info and food vendors galore - pretty much all you need to chill before prize giving.
