On 8 February 2026, the Coatesville Half Marathon returns as a classic rural road event on Auckland’s doorstep, with race HQ at Coatesville Reserve. The half marathon combines the 8K “classic” loop with a 13K out-and-back along Ridge Road, featuring a steady climb early on, undulating country sections, the notorious Heartbreak Hill beside the Coatesville mansion area, and a long downhill run back to the finish. The 8K Classic showcases the core loop, while the 4K Downhill Dash offers a fast, gravity-assisted run from partway along the route, and the 2K Kids’ Dash gives younger runners their own taste of race day. All distances are on sealed, traffic-free rural roads with sweeping views across farmland to the Sky Tower and distant ranges, creating a rare closed-road countryside experience. With a relaxed village feel, strong local support and a challenging but rewarding profile, it’s a standout summer fixture in the Auckland running calendar.
