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:
