Feilding Festival of Running
The Feilding Festival of Running is a multi-distance running event held at Timona Park, Simon St, Feilding. It includes road and off-road courses and runs under an approved traffic management plan.
Distances and main formats:
- Marathon (out-and-back route; marathon runners/walkers complete the out-and-back twice)
- Half marathon (out-and-back)
- 10 km (out-and-back)
- 5 km (off-road, one or two laps of Timona Park grass)
- 2.5 km (off-road, one lap of Timona Park grass)
The marathon, half marathon and 10 km follow an out-and-back course mapped online. The 2.5 km and 5 km events are run on grass around Timona Park, which is noted as being safer for children and suitable for buggies. Water stations are provided at approximately 5 km intervals along the road route; participants are encouraged to carry personal hydration as well.
Race headquarters are at the football clubrooms on Simon St, Timona Park, with toilets and showers available there. Entry fees for the festival are listed between $10 and $100. Accommodation options exist in Feilding and Palmerston North airport is about 16 km away.
The event includes merit awards, spot prizes and club trophies based on cumulative times for club-affiliated finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
