The G.J. Gardner Homes Whitianga Run Fest is a feel-good coastal event that brings Whitianga to life with runners, walkers, families, and supporters from near and far. Set along our stunning beaches, harbour, and waterfront pathways, it’s all about great views, good vibes, and crossing the finish line with a smile.
With flat, fast, and scenic waterside courses, the event welcomes everyone – from first-timers and families to seasoned runners chasing a PB.
The Run Fest creates a buzz across town, encourages visitors to stay and explore, and proudly celebrates Whitianga’s community spirit.
It’s a highlight on the local events calendar and a brilliant showcase of everything that makes Whitianga such a special place to run, walk, and visit.
