Race Information

The EVES Huntly Half Marathon is New Zealand's longest-running standalone half marathon, established in 1981. It offers a range of events to suit all participants, including a Half Marathon (21.1km), 10km, 5km, and a Kids Dash (2km). The race features a fast, virtually flat course, with the Half Marathon taking runners through scenic spots around Huntly Speedway, East Mine, and Lake Hakanoa. The event also includes a prize pool for top finishers and a time bonus for those who exceed specific time goals. This event is suitable for both runners and walkers and is well-regarded for its great value, providing all participants with a finisher’s medal and an event shirt.
