Whangamatā Half Marathon
The Whangamatā Half Marathon is a community running event held in Whangamatā, New Zealand, with routes based at Williamson Park. The event offers three distances:
- 21 km half marathon
- 10 km run
- 5 km run
Entries are tiered by date with differing fees for each distance; there are options for a Standard Entry that includes a finisher medal or a Medal-less Entry. Standard entries with medals are available only while stocks last; past years saw medals sell out before the event. Online entries close on 23 September 2026 and an online processing fee applies to all transactions.
The Lions Club of Whangamatā is the recipient charity and a local event management company runs the event. Event cancellation protection is included with all entries at no extra charge. A user pays personal refund insurance option from XCover can be added at the time of entry.
The event includes community-focused programs such as a Pay an Entry Forward scheme supported by Coromandel’s More FM and a gifted entry program for residents of the Thames-Coromandel and Hauraki districts. Additional features listed by the organisers include free hydration stations that use a bring-your-own cup policy, downloadable training plans for all distances, and a spot prize program called the Winning Wheel.
