Ultimate Beach Run

The Ultimate Beach Run features out-and-back courses along the Marine Parade Coastal pathway, beginning at the Mount Maunganui Cenotaph. Participants can expect to travel away from the iconic Mauao, transitioning from the newly developed pathway onto the sandy beach, with turnaround points that vary based on the distance being run.

This event is known for its inclusive atmosphere, accommodating a wide variety of participants. Runners can bring along their dogs for the shorter distances or push prams, making it a family-friendly option. The early morning start captures the serene beauty of a beach sunrise, providing a picturesque backdrop that enhances the experience.

The event is part of the Ultimate Athlete series, linking it to a broader community of fitness enthusiasts and providing continuity for those participating in multiple events within the series.
