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.
Start times:
- 9:00am: NBS Half marathon: ($65)
- 9:00am: Waimea 21km 4-Person Relay ($120 per team)
- 9:30am: NBS 10km ($45)
Still time to enter. Registration will be open until midnight on Friday 11 July 2025. More information see the NBS Nelson Marathon website. Next week: Brightwater 10km
