Gazley Volkswagen Wellington Marathon 2026

The Gazley Volkswagen Wellington Marathon takes place in New Zealand’s capital during winter. It features a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and Kids Mile, all on the same day. The main marathon is also the official Wellington Marathon Champs, attracting serious local competitors alongside those opting for shorter distances or a family-friendly run. The course is described as flat and fast, suitable for runners seeking a consistent road race rather than a challenging, hilly course. All finishers receive a medal. The event has a long-standing charity partnership with the NZ Heart Foundation, and participants can create fundraising pages to support initiatives against heart disease.
