The race

About this course

The Egmont Honey Half Marathon features a 21km course that starts from the Egmont Honey headquarters in Bell Block and concludes at Ngāmotu Beach. This route offers participants a diverse experience, combining suburban pathways with the picturesque coastal scenery of New Plymouth. The event accommodates individual runners as well as pairs who prefer a relay format, with a changeover at the midpoint of the race.

Additionally, there is a shorter 6km course designed to include participants of all ages, making it a family-friendly option. This shorter race both starts and finishes at Ngāmotu Beach, allowing for easy access and a concentrated festive atmosphere at the beach domain.

Participants can expect an engaging race experience that not only challenges their endurance but also provides a scenic tour of Taranaki’s coastal and urban landscapes. This event tends to attract a diverse group of runners, from competitive athletes to casual participants, enhancing the community feel of the race day.
