The Rotorua Marathon proves to be a hardy event that continues to draw experienced and fresh runners and walkers to its picturesque course.
The start and finish to the Rotorua Marathon are in the Government Gardens outside the Energy Events Centre, with the course heading out through Rotorua’s CBD, down Lake Rd, Fairy Springs Rd and around the traditional lake course (with undulating hills, long flats and a head wind ‘somewhere’), back into town. The finish is up through the beautiful Princes Arch past the Government Gardens and into the Energy Events Centre. The 2011 event doubles as the New Zealand Marathon Championships.
