The 2nd Annual Ohope Half Marathon
Coming Sunday April 3 2011, with coastal views and flat scenic streets, Ohope Half Marathon promises a little something for everyone. There are three distances, the half marathon, a 10k run or walk and a 5k doggie dash. The half marathon is fast and flat, an ideal build-up for the Rotorua Marathon and an excellent course to secure a personal best time. The 10km run or walk takes in quiet Ohope streets with views of both the coast and Ohiwa Harbour. The 5k Doggie Dash promises fun for you and your workout buddy. Who will be crowned Fastest Dog in the East?
New Zealands Newest Off Road Run Challenge is on this year across the Bay of Plenty! The 5 event series kicks off in Tauranga on May 24 and ends in back in Tauranga on October 18th with races in between in Rotorua and Whakatane.
The last event location has now been changed to Tauranga due to forest access issues in Kawerau, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
With a choice of short, medium and long distances there is something for all abilities...from the recreational walker to the competitive runner. Distances will range from 5km to 20km with exact distances being confirmed a week prior to the event.
Nature Valley has jumped on board as the series sponsor so look forward to tasting some great Nature Valley Crunchy Snack bars at our events. Every bar is made with the natural goodness of whole grain oats and is free from artificial flavours and colours.
