Whitianga Run Fest

On this year’s event calendar the Whitianga Run Fest offers some new challenges to their programme. The Run Fest offers five courses for runners and walkers.

- 21km Whitianga half marathon takes the same coastal course. Flat and fast this half is popular for those looking to achieve a personal best time.
- 21km off-road track and trail – a new and improved course after introducing it last year. Off-road, great views and some challenging aspects. The unique ferry ride remains on this course.
- 10km Challenge – the same flat and fast 10km taking in both the beach and harbour.
- 7km off-road track and trail – new to the event and great for families to experience amazing views of Mercury Bay from Shakespeare Cliff, as well as the ferry ride.
- 5km fun run – always popular with the kids and those setting out on their event journey. A great coastal course.
