The Run21 Half Marathon course in Ōrewa

Ōrewa will again provide the track for a running event that last year attracted around 150 participants.

The Run 21 Ōrewa event will take place on Sunday, June 5. It offers three distances – a half marathon (21.2km), 10.5km fun run and 5km run/walk. There are open and age group categories, including veteran (aged 40 plus).

Runners start from Ōrewa Reserve, by the surf club  – Te Ara Tahuna (Ōrewa Estuary walk and cycleway) forms the basis of the course.

Event director Mikayla McNabb says it is hoped that the event, which was first held last July, will be held annually around this time of year.
