Saturday - Nelson Marathon![]()
Unfortunately, the marathon course option for this event has been cancelled due to the recent weather damage to tracks and infrastructure. Other options were considered, including a double loop but a viable and safe alternative could not be implemented at this time.![]()
The NBS Half Marathon, NBS 10km and the Waimea 4-Person Relay will be going ahead, but the recent weather and conditions have necessitated some course alterations. The start line & briefing for the Half, 10km & Relay will be at the junction of Kerry Marshall Drive & Main Rd Stoke, just a short walk from the Saxton Field parking spots. Have a look at website maps for Start Line and Parking Spots. The organising team have worked hard to reorganise this event around the restrictions caused from the recent severe weather events and would appreciate your support. Briefings for all events will be at the Start Line. Please be there for this 10 minutes before your start.![]()
