The Cambridge Half Marathon will act as the Waikato Bay of Plenty Half Marathon Championship for 2026.

The Cambridge Half Marathon returns, bringing runners together from near and far to enjoy the charm of Cambridge, just minutes from Hamilton. Whether you’re pushing for a personal milestone or simply taking in the views, this event welcomes everyone.

The Half Marathon features two scenic, mostly flat loops beneath Cambridge’s well‑loved trees. Other distances include a one‑loop Quarter Marathon (10.7km), a 5km loop, and a 2km kids dash—making it a great day out for families and runners of all abilities.

Finish strong, collect your medal, and treat yourself to a well‑deserved coffee.

Start/Finish will be at Tom Voyle Park (next to Cambridge High School Taylor St Entrance).

The courses are flat and almost entirely off-road. The Half and Quarter Marathon course passes through the Cambridge Town Belt and along some shared foot paths in the suburb of St Kilda.

8:30am Half Marathon walk/jog (non competitive)
9:00am Half Marathon run
9:20am Quarter Marathon (10.7km) run/walk
