Pukekura Park 5 km — Coastal Five

The Pukekura Park 5 km is the second event of the Coastal Five weekend, beginning at 11:00 AM in Pukekura Park, New Plymouth. It is a short, mid-morning run with a one-hour cut-off, designed for a wide range of participants, not exclusively fast racers. The course starts and finishes within the park, utilizing a mix of park paths, sealed walkways, and gentle undulations over 5 km. Participants will pass through gardens, lakes, and trails in one of New Zealand’s notable urban parks, serving as a more relaxed follow-up to the morning half marathon.
