Le parcours du semi-marathon est un aller-retour sur une piste large et bien entretenue le long du Lake Dunstan, avec des vignobles et des montagnes tout autour. Que tu sois en solo, en équipe de relais, marcheur ou sur le 10 km, tout le monde profite du même cadre au bord du lac. Le relais, lui, prévoit des passages d'équipes pendant la course.

The Cromwell Half Marathon begins and ends at Alpha Street Reserve in Cromwell, New Zealand. Participants will run the Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail in October. The event offers three options: a 10 km solo run, a half marathon solo run, or a 21 km team relay. Walkers and runners of all ages and paces are welcome. The three-hour cut-off accommodates both training runs and competitive efforts. The course follows the lake edge from Alpha Street Reserve towards Pisa Moorings and returns, offering open views of Lake Dunstan and the dry Central Otago hills. Relay teams exchange runners at designated points along the route, with an initial change after 1.2 km and subsequent handovers every few kilometres. Race packs and late entries are available the afternoon before the event. A briefing will occur on race morning, and prize-giving commences at the course cut-off time.

The Clyde Classic is a running and walking event in Clyde, a former gold-mining town in Central Otago, New Zealand. It offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a kids race, with every distance starting and finishing at Clyde Primary School. The half marathon is a 21.1 km run-only race, while the 10K and 5K are open to both runners and walkers. The shorter options make the event suitable for families, first-timers, and people who want a community event rather than a competitive race day. The course uses Clyde’s old town streets, crosses the Contact Energy Clyde Dam, and follows tracks beside the Clutha River. The half marathon includes vineyard views and rural-trail loops, while the 10K and 5K follow shorter routes through town, over the dam, and along the river paths. Aid stations are provided on the longer distances, but the event is cup-free, so participants bring their own cup or bottle for refills. The race also has a community-giving focus, with local involvement built into the day.

Mt Isthmus Traverse is an off-road running event on Glen Dene Station near Lake Hawea, New Zealand. Active QT organizes it, with four race options: a 42.2km Mountain Marathon, a 27km Hill Run, a 10km Trail-Hill Run, and a 5km Trail-Hill Run. The longer races start in the morning from Dinner Flat, while the shorter trail-hill races start later from the same start and finish area. The course uses mountain trails, single track, ridgelines, and 4WD farm tracks, with open views over Lake Hawea and the Southern Alps. The marathon is the hardest option, with 2,175m of climbing and big alpine climbs and descents; the 27km race still packs in 1,529m of gain on rugged hill terrain. Even the shorter races are not flat: the 10km has 652m of climbing, and the 5km loop still climbs 310m, so this series suits runners who want hills rather than a fast road-style effort.

Le Queenstown Marathon, c'est une course à pied qui a lieu chaque année dans le district de Queenstown Lakes en New Zealand. Tu as le choix entre un marathon de 42km, un half marathon de 21km, une course de 10km, et une Kids Run de 2.2km. C'est ASICS qui présente l'événement, ce qui est cool car ça propose plusieurs distances aux participants au lieu de se focaliser uniquement sur le marathon complet. Le parcours est majoritairement plat, avec environ 70% de chemin compacté et 30% de route, ce qui le rend différent d'un marathon sur route classique. Il traverse Millbrook Resort, Arrowtown, Lake Hayes, la Shotover River, Lake Wakatipu, et les Queenstown Gardens, pour finir dans le centre de Queenstown avec des vues sur les chaînes de montagnes Crown et Remarkables.
