Clyde Classic Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

The Clyde Classic offers a diverse range of courses, each designed to showcase the historic and scenic elements of Clyde, a town renowned for its gold mining past. The half marathon route is particularly notable, featuring a crossing over the Contact Energy Clyde Dam and winding through river tracks beside the Clutha River, providing runners with breathtaking views and a sense of the area’s history.

Runners participating in the half marathon can expect a running-only event, while both the shorter distances offer options for walkers as well, accommodating a broader range of fitness levels.

An important logistical note for participants is the event’s sustainability efforts; it operates as a cup-free race. Participants are required to bring their own cups or water bottles, which can be refilled at designated aid stations along the routes.

The atmosphere of the event captures the essence of the Central Otago region, with its rich historical backdrop and natural beauty, making it an engaging experience for runners and spectators alike.
