Runners and walkers of all abilities and experience levels are set to descend on one of the most beautiful parts of the country this weekend when the iconic Rotorua Marathon is held for the 57th time on Saturday.
With around 4,000 entrants expected to take part, it is set to be the most popular Rotorua Marathon since the 50th anniversary celebrations of seven years ago. The thousands of entrants will take on the challenge of either the full marathon, Red Stag Timber half marathon, Go Media 10km or 5.5km distances.
This year’s edition of the event – which is famous for its stunning scenery across the various race options around Lake Rotorua, the beautiful Whakarewarewa Forest, Sulphur Flats and Government Gardens – is of further note as, with the entirety of New Zealand now at alert level 1, entrants from all regions are able to take part.

His partner Rebecca Edgecombe is also a dedicated marathon runner, joining Tindall at many of the same events.
