On 16 May 2026, ASICS Runaway Hawke’s Bay Marathon brings runners to one of New Zealand’s most scenic “run-then-wine” race days, with every distance ending at Elephant Hill Estate & Winery for a signature finish-line food-and-wine festival vibe. The event offers four options — 42.2 km marathon, half marathon, 10km, and a kids’ run — making it as welcoming for first-timers as it is attractive for PB chasers. The course is designed to feel smooth and runnable, blending hard-packed limestone cycle trails with sealed roads and shared paths, and staying largely flat while showcasing the Napier coastline, rural backroads and vineyard country. With big open skies, coastal air and a celebratory winery finish, it’s a destination-style race that doubles as a Hawke’s Bay weekend getaway.
