Taupō Marathon
The Taupō Marathon is a multi-distance running event held on Saturday 7 August 2027 along Taupō’s lakefront. The event offers several course options and presents the lakefront scenery as a prominent feature of the routes.
Distances available include:
- Marathon (AIMS certified)
- Half Marathon (AIMS certified)
- 10 km Run/Walk
- 5 km Run/Walk
- Trail Tigers Kids Dash
Every finisher in all distances receives a finisher medal. The Marathon and Half Marathon courses are officially measured and recognised by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS).
The event is described as family friendly, with options for children and adults and a Kids Fun Zone in addition to the Kids Dash. Organisers encourage participants to reduce single-use plastic by carrying a reusable cup, bottle, or hydration pack; aid stations will refill these. Collapsible silicone cups will be available at the event base for purchase at $5.
The event highlights local attractions in the Taupō region and notes nearby natural sights and activities without specifying details. Entries for the 2027 event are noted as opening soon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
