The marathon is a single lap of Lake Rotorua, a race that first ran in 1965. It starts at the redeveloped Rotorua lakefront and finishes outside the Novotel Rotorua Lakeside. You can have a personalised drink bottle waiting at four stations, around 9 km, 19.5 km, 28 km and 37 km, if you drop it at registration the day before. Entrants must be 18 or older, and walkers are welcome but are not eligible for awards.
