The Omaha Half Marathon and Fun Run is scheduled for 8 December 2024, located at Rahui Te Kiri Reserve, part of the Auckland Half Marathon Series. The event features multiple options, including a half marathon, along with fun run and walk events catering to a variety of participants, including a dedicated kids’ dash.
The half marathon course offers a scenic circumnavigation of the Omaha Peninsula, incorporating a 2km stretch along the hard-packed white sands of Omaha Beach. Participants will experience an out-and-back route over the causeway and through the coastal reserve at historic Point Wells, characterized by expansive sea views and close proximity to the water.
The shorter events, including the fun runs, follow the picturesque route around the peninsula. The 5km course turns back near the surf club, while the 10km continues to the northern tip at the bird sanctuary. Omaha is conveniently located less than an hour’s drive north of Auckland’s Harbour Bridge, making it accessible for participants and spectators alike. Post-race amenities and activities may be available, enhancing the overall experience.
