Ultimate Beach Run

The Ultimate Beach Run features out-and-back courses along the Marine Parade Coastal pathway, providing runners with a flat, scenic route that takes advantage of Mount Maunganui’s stunning oceanfront. Participants start at the Mount Maunganui Cenotaph and head towards the base of Mauao, transitioning from paved pathways to beach sand, which adds a unique challenge to the run. The event is known for its inclusive atmosphere, allowing pets and prams in the shorter distances, fostering a family-friendly environment. This race is part of the larger Ultimate Athlete series, connecting it to a broader community of diverse and challenging events.
