Ultimate Beach Run

The Ultimate Beach Run is scheduled for 1 March 2025, taking place along the Marine Parade Coastal pathway in Mount Maunganui. This event features out-and-back courses that begin at the Mount Maunganui Cenotaph. Participants will run along a newly developed pathway that offers scenic views of Mauao and the surrounding coastline before descending onto the beach for a unique running experience.

The course’s inclusive nature allows for participation from various groups, including runners with dogs on the shorter routes and families with prams. This aspect emphasizes accessibility and community involvement.

The event is part of a broader series of athletic challenges, with the next event being the Ultimate Athlete Obstacle Challenge on 12 April 2025. Post-race amenities and activities are typically available, promoting a social environment for participants and spectators alike.
