About the Harcourts Cooper & Co Hibiscus Half Marathon
The Hibiscus Half Marathon extends the former Run Orewa event into a full coastal half and joins the Auckland Half Marathon Series. Metro Park is the base for a course linking the estuary, downtown Orewa and the beachfront.
Course
A 21.1km loop combines Te Ara Tahuna paths with an Orewa beachfront extension and the Millenium Walkway. Mostly flat terrain includes gentle rollers and a short late climb; an 800-metre timed section adds a mid-race challenge.
Race-day weather
Auckland spring is increasingly mild, but sunshine, wind and showers can arrive in the same day. Pack a light waterproof layer and sun protection for the exposed coastal sections.
