Feilding Festival of Running
The Feilding Festival of Running is a multi-distance running event held at Timona Park, Simon Street, Feilding. The programme includes road and off-road races across a range of distances to suit different preferences.
Distances
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10 km
- 2.5 km
- 5 km
The marathon, half marathon and 10 km use an out-and-back road course, with marathon entrants completing the road route twice. The shorter 2.5 km and 5 km events are off-road laps around Timona Park on grass, suitable for children and buggies. Water stations are placed at roughly 5 km intervals on the road course; participants are encouraged to carry personal fluids as well.
Race headquarters are at the football clubrooms on Simon Street, with toilets and showers available. Prizegiving includes merit awards, spot prizes and a range of trophies for marathon and club results, including age-adjusted and team trophies. Club trophies are calculated from the cumulative times of the first three marathon finishers from the same affiliated club.
The organisers note course maps are available and provide information on past results and event history. There is a recommendation that runners who expect to exceed 6 hours 45 minutes in the marathon consider entering the half marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
