Hatuma Half Marathon

The Hatuma Half Marathon has been a staple in the Central Hawke's Bay event calendar for more than 40 years and is a key feature of the Central Hawke's Bay Spring Fling. The picturesque 21.1 kilometre course takes in the entire circumference of Lake Whatumā, starting and finishing at the Waipukurau Racecourse.

Open to walkers and runners, and with half marathon, 10 km and 5 km options, this is a great community-driven event suitable for all abilities, with the option to compete as an individual or part of a team – it will leave you wanting to come back for more. Join us on Sunday 17 September to take part in this iconic Central Hawke's Bay event!
