Wellington Marathon

Established in 1986, the Gazley Volkswagen Wellington Marathon has been Wellington’s favourite footrace for over three decades.

Based at Wellington’s iconic Sky Stadium, this flat, fast and spectator friendly course takes you on a scenic tour of harbour bays and quintessentially Capital landmarks such as the Railway Station, Michael Fowler Centre, Te Papa, Oriental Parade, Scorching Bay and Queens Wharf. The only hill is the ramp into Sky Stadium, so Wellington is where you wanna be for PB’s. And the Full and Half Marathon are certified to IAAF & AIMS standards, so it’s the perfect place to qualify for international events such as Boston.
