TAIRUA TRAIL & TIDES HALF MARATHON- Postponed till 2022

The Tairua Trail and Tides Committee have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 event due to Covid19 lockdown level restrictions.  The Trail and Tides 2021 event will now be held on Saturday 23rd April (Anzac weekend) 2022.
Those who have entered this year’s event will automatically be transferred to the new event date. Event Lead Sam Taylor invites anyone with queries to get in contact via email [email protected].

This event is about showcasing everything beautiful about the town of Tairua. The Half Marathon / 10km & 5km courses cover the picturesque landscapes of Tairua. This year they are raising money for Stage 4 of the Pauanui/Tairua Trail.

Tairua Trail & Tides includes 5km (Between the peaks) / 10km (Single Peak) & 21km (Twin Peaks) courses.

All distances have running & walking options. Prize giving will be at 12pm at the School/ Event base.

There is something for everyone whether you come to compete seriously, have something to train for or to get a group together, dress up and have some fun.

This course is designed for everyone! You can walk, jog or sprint! It is flat the entire way so there really is no excuse not to enter at least this distance! Kids can be in prams or on a bike. We also encourage you to get a group together and dress up, there will be a prize for the best dressed team!

Like all courses you will leave from the start line at Tairua School. You will head down Petley Parade, past the wharf & Tairua fishing club; hug the coastline, turn right onto Pepe Bridge, past the Playground and along the estuary. You will turn right at the end of the reserve onto Manaia Road, it is here you will see the 2.5km mark / drink station where you will turn around and go back exactly the same way you came.
