The Pāuanui Half Marathon is scheduled for 15 March 2025, set in the scenic Coromandel region. The race course showcases a variety of landscapes, including the surf beach, the Pāuanui Airfield, and the picturesque Pāuanui Waterways. Participants will traverse an off-road forest and estuary-side track along the Pāuanui-Tairua trail, providing a diverse running experience amid natural beauty.
Starting and finishing at the beachfront near the Pāuanui Surf Lifesaving Club, the event highlights the coastal charm of the area. This race promotes sustainability by being a cup-free event, encouraging participants to bring their own reusable cups or water bottles for hydration at aid stations.
In addition to the half marathon, the event features shorter distances, catering to a wider range of participants. The Pāuanui Half Marathon not only offers a competitive running experience but also an opportunity to enjoy the local environment and community.
