Event Information
EVENT UPDATE: 2022 Huntly Half Marathon postponed to Sunday 16th October 2022.
The organisers of the Huntly Half Marathon have made the difficult decision to move our 2022 event to Sunday 16th October. There are several reasons for this with the key factors being:
- The current Omicron wave has had an enduring effect on registrations and event planning
- Running this event in Red level is not logistically viable
We hope you understand our position and this decision. Our hope is that by October we will have more certainty and that the event will be able to proceed without restrictions. One of the things that makes this event is that we get the opportunity to see the awesome Huntly community come together with community groups out on the course running the water stations, and the Rugby club pitching in with the parking and great food on the day. We hope we can welcome you back to Huntly and give you the full experience of the Huntly Half, including a high five at the finish line.
If you are currently entered in the 2022 Huntly Half Marathon, you do not have to do anything. Your entry will automatically be transferred to the new event date in October.

Course Information
The classic when it comes to Half Marathons, the Huntly Half Marathon is NZ’s longest running standalone Half Marathon event having started in 1981.
This course is one that is fast. It features a virtually flat single out and back route that follows the mighty Waikato River completely on sealed and closed roads. This course will only be used for the Half Marathon participants and no other event distances.
The event returns to its original time of year in May and is perfectly positioned a few weeks after the Rotorua Marathon allowing for that goal of running a fast time on this fast course.
The event involves the traditional Half Marathon distance of 21.1km, along with a 10km, 5km and Kids 2km for Under 16 year olds. All events have the option of either a Run or Walk.
