Mount Maunganui Half Marathon
The event is a running festival on Saturday 28 August 2027 offering three distances and a flat, sealed-course route that starts and finishes at the Mount Maunganui Surf Club on the beach. Wave starts are used for the 21 km and 10 km events; runners self-seed into waves to help manage the start and to allow participants to run at their own pace.
Distances:
- 21 km
- 10 km
- 5 km
Age rules: the 21 km is open to participants aged 16 and over, the 10 km to those aged 10 and over, and the 5 km is open to all ages. All finishers in the 21 km, 10 km and 5 km receive a finisher medal. Timing mats at the start and finish record mat time; results are published online by age group and are based on mat time.
Aid stations are positioned along the courses and supply water; the 21 km and 10 km stations also provide electrolyte hydration at specified kilometre marks. A bag check operates at the start and finish areas with collection required by 1:00 pm; uncollected items will be kept for ten days before donation. Registration and late-entry information is published for the event; late entries incur a fee and are cash only. A major spot prize draw for eligible finishers is held at the awards ceremony and must be claimed in person. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
