If you are keen to enter but can only do one discipline then email Bill and he will try to match you up. For instance, you may be a runner but not a cyclist in which case Bill will endeavour to find a cyclist to join you.

Kerikeri Half Marathon 2019
Still time to be race ready – come and celebrate the 30th Anniversary with the Striders…
This year is particularly special, celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Kerikeri Half Marathon which was first started by the Kerikeri Striders in 1989. Are you in?
The ASB Kerikeri Half Marathon on Saturday, 23 November 2019 is a predominantly downhill run from Okaihau to Kerikeri, and is the final event in the Sport Northland Run/Walk Series each year.
This Half Marathon is an iconic feature on the Northland events calendar. Starting in Okaihau the 21.1km course makes its way through a rolling country side to finish in the centre of town at the Kerikeri Domain. The 5km fun run starts from Marsden Estate.
Stick around for the Kerikeri Street Party where you can sample wonderful food, wine and many other local specialties or just dance the evening away.
If you are a beginner, or just looking to improve your half marathon time, there are many training plans on line. This one from Mental Health Org looks good for beginners to follow:

Queenstown International Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km and 3km
The World’s Most Beautiful Marathon’ will be held on Saturday 16th November 2019, so there won’t be a clash with our favourite Half Marathon in Kerikeri which is taking place a week later, 23rd November.
There are four options available, with the 3km being a kids run. The courses are set between the backdrop of the Crown and Remarkable mountain ranges, and take in highlights of the Lakes region. The terrain features hard packed cycle trails.
Make a weekend of it as there is so much to do in and around Queenstown. Could it be a ‘training run’ for the big race the next week?
