Hawke’s Bay Marathon

Saturday 26 August 2023

Join Team Lifeline and run the Hawke’s Bay Marathon in support of the thousands of Kiwis who reach out to Lifeline every month.

More than just another marathon or fun run, it’s a festive experience you’ll always remember. You’ll get to run alongside the natural wonderland of coast, wineries, orchards, and Hawke’s Bay countryside. Crossing a finish line where a bounty of food, wine and hospitality awaits.

The 42km Marathon, 21km Half Marathon and 10km event courses each offer a unique mix of running terrain, with a combination of running on-road and hard-packed limestone through orchards and past vineyards.

The finish line for all events is set in the gorgeous surroundings of Elephant Hill Estate & Winery.
