If your goal is to try your first ever running event, there are options to suit everyone in the Orewa Beach Half Marathon.

Entries are now open for the ever-popular event, which was first held in 2011.

This year it will be held on Sunday, April 23. The organisers, Running Events, say that last year’s event was a sellout, with hundreds turned away.

This year the event base will once again be on Orewa Reserve, next to the surf club.

Options range from 2km to 21km courses.

For the first time, the 10km Classic Course will feature a Point to Point run from Western Reserve, to reduce congestion in Alice Eave’s Scenic Bush Reserve and provide runners with a new experience.

The Half Marathon is also the Grand Finale of the 2016-17 Garmin Auckland Half Marathon series.

Earlybird rates apply. Info: Halfmarathon.co.nz
