The Kaikōura Whale Run is scheduled for 6 September 2025, taking place in the coastal town of Kaikōura. This event has its origins in the Kaikōura Suburban Half Marathon, initially hosted on the grounds of Kaikōura Suburban School. It was designed as a community fundraiser to promote fitness during the winter months, preparing participants for a more active summer.

Runners and walkers will navigate a scenic, mixed terrain course that begins and ends at Kaikōura Suburban School. The route offers picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, showcasing the natural beauty of the Kaikōura region, well-known for its marine life and stunning coastal scenery.

The event includes a variety of race options catering to different age groups and fitness levels, featuring a dedicated 2km race for children. Post-race activities often include community gatherings, providing an opportunity for participants to connect and celebrate their achievements. The Kaikōura Whale Run continues to foster community spirit while promoting health and wellness among locals and visitors alike.
