Join the ultimate running weekend
With race options for the Rotorua Running Festival from 2km to 21km and everything in between.
Rotorua is the place to be in November for the ultimate running festival with something for everyone. Stunning Lake Rotorua provides the backdrop for a festival of events to suit every running and walking taste.
The blue ribband event of the weekend is the City of Rotorua Half Marathon, the only running event to bring Rotorua’s main thoroughfare, Fenton St, to a standstill. There’s also a super fast and flat 10k, an easy 4k community run and we round things off with a 2km kids’ dash. Every single finisher takes home a superb commemorative medal to remember a great day out. This is a running festival like no other!
