MARATHON ENTRY
The Kirikiriroa Half Marathon takes you on a rewarding out and back journey from Hamilton Gardens to Tamahere and back, delivering the perfect blend of scenery, challenge, and race day vibes.
Following the stunning Te Awa River Path, you’ll run alongside the Waikato River while passing the impressive architecture of new bridges and boardwalks that showcase the ongoing development of this iconic river corridor. These modern features add visual interest and a real sense of place as you move through the course.
The undulating terrain keeps things interesting, but it is a satisfying one that gently challenges the legs and makes every kilometre count. With peaceful river views, wide shared paths, and plenty of encouragement along the way.
Whether you are stepping up from shorter distances, chasing a personal goal, or simply keen to experience an unforgettable local event, this course delivers a true half marathon adventure!
