Kerikeri Half Marathon

Northland Waste Kerikeri Half Marathon 2026

Saturday 21 November 2026 | Kerikeri

Lace up for one of Northland’s favourite sporting events! Run or walk the scenic 21.1km route from Ōkaihau to Kerikeri, travelling through rolling countryside before finishing at the Kerikeri Domain.

With a largely downhill course, it’s a great opportunity to chase a personal best or take on your first half marathon. Prefer a shorter distance? Join the 5km event, with options for adults and children.

Afterwards, celebrate your achievement with lunch and live music at the Domain. Participants can also fundraise for the Cancer Society, supporting people living with cancer and their whānau.
