The Marina 2 Marina event in Picton offers participants a chance to experience the natural beauty of the Marlborough Sounds through a variety of scenic trails. The course connects the towns of Picton, Waikawa, and Anakiwa, showcasing lush landscapes and stunning water views.
The Link Run features a challenging 24km route that begins at Anakiwa Bay, while the 13km Snout route includes notable elevation changes, rewarding runners and walkers with panoramic vistas at the summit. For those seeking a more accessible option, the 10km Marina 2 Marina fun walk follows a relatively flat track from Picton to Waikawa, making it suitable for novice participants.
A dedicated 2km Kids Dash caters to younger runners aged 5 to 9, taking place in a safe, flat area within the Picton Marina carpark.
Throughout the event, drink and refreshment stations provide support for participants. The atmosphere is enhanced by a festival-like environment at London Quay, where market stalls and entertainment create a vibrant community experience.
