The Kirikiriroa Marathon returns to Hamilton on 6 June 2026 along with a Half Marathon distance.
Both courses start and finish from Hamilton Gardens. The Half Marathon route is an out-and-back to Tamahere return. Both routes take in the stunning Te Awa River Path, winding its way alongside the Waikato River.
Terrain is a mix between pavers, concrete paths and wooden boardwalks, with an overall elevation is around 350m.
The Marathon distance can be completed solo or in a relay team of 2,3 or 4 (distances of relay legs to be confirmed). Teams of 4 will need to be able to run 8-10km minimum. There is an 8 hour cut off for the Marathon distance.
