Race Description
The Wellington Half Marathon follows a coastal route along Wellington Harbour in New Zealand’s capital city. The race typically starts near central Wellington before heading along waterfront roads that trace the edge of the harbor. Runners follow long stretches beside the water with views of the surrounding hills and city skyline. The course reaches a turnaround point along the coastline before returning toward the city center for the finish. The terrain is mostly flat with only gentle elevation changes along the harbor road. The wide coastal roads provide open views across the harbor for much of the race. The waterfront setting creates a scenic and straightforward course.
