Emerson's Dunedin Marathon 2026

The Emerson's Dunedin Marathon concludes at Emerson's Brewery, providing a distinct Dunedin finish line for a city-spanning marathon that begins at Portobello Recreation Reserve. This established road race in Dunedin, New Zealand, offers certified marathon and half-marathon courses, alongside 10km and 5km options for those seeking a shorter run or walk. The marathon route follows harbour-side roads, city streets, and parkland before arriving at the brewery. The half marathon is a one-lap course from Caledonian Ground to the same finish, also used by walkers. The 10km event includes both run and walk categories, while the 5km Fun Run/Walk presents an accessible distance for families and first-time participants. The programme accommodates competitive runners, recreational joggers, and walkers, resulting in a more diverse field than a marathon-exclusive event.
