2026 The Good Home Taranaki Off-Road Half Marathon

Entries Are Now Open!

Celebrating a Decade on the Trails

For 10 years, you've trusted us to bring you the best of Taranaki's trails. To celebrate our 10-year anniversary in 2026, we’re doing something truly special. We're keeping the distances you know and love—the 5km, quarter marathon, half marathon relay and the iconic half marathon—but we're bringing you an entirely new experience.

We've been working behind the scenes to create brand-new courses for every distance. Prepare to discover stunning new scenery and take on fresh challenges as you run along kilometers of trails we've never used before. This isn't just another race; it's a milestone event and a new adventure waiting to be explored. Keep an eye out—course flyover maps will be released in December!

• THE GOOD HOME HALF MARATHON (21.1km): This single-loop course is a challenge for runners aged 16 and over. Please note there is a cutoff time of 2.5 hours at the 10.5km mark. To ensure we stay on schedule with our partners, runners who do not reach this point in time will not be allowed to continue.

• THE FRONTRUNNER QUARTER MARATHON (10.5km): Perfect for runners aged 10 and over.

• BODY LOGIC 5KM FUN RUN (5km): This family-friendly event is a great introduction to trail running. Participants must be 8 years or older.

• MCDONALD REAL ESTATE HALF MARATHON TEAM RELAY: This relay is done in teams of two, distances to be confirmed in December. You will decide who runs the first half and who runs the second half. 

Note: Relay price is per team (not per person). You will need a team captain for event liaison and one person will pay for the team during the entry process.

All courses feature stunning scenery, with beautiful views of the mountain and the lake.
