Hawke’s Bay Marathon

Run away to Hawke’s Bay for a running festival incorporating 42km, 21km and 10km events, as well as a 3km kids run option.

Take in the best highlights of the region, with flat easy running through local cycle trails, quiet country roads and passed vineyards and orchards – all finishing at the impressive Elephant Hill winery where you can celebrate your efforts in style.

The finish line will be a food and wine festival, where you can celebrate your achievements in true Hawke’s Bay style.

Once you’re done with the run, you’ll have the rest of the weekend (or even stay a few more days) to soak up more of what Hawke’s Bay has to offer – be it food, wine, art deco, cycle trails or pretty much anything else you could hope for.
