The Kirikiriroa Marathon is scheduled for 7 June 2025, taking place in Hamilton, New Zealand.
The course route is yet to be confirmed but is expected to be similar to previous years, with changes updated as they become available. Traditionally, the race begins at the Hamilton gardens, tracing a path along the Te Awa River Ride to Tamahere and back. The route then stretches towards Pukete, near a horse farm, before returning to the gardens for the finish line.
Participants have the option to complete the entire course individually or as part of a relay team of three. The relay is divided into three legs, each of varying lengths.
The event encourages inclusivity, welcoming both runners and walkers. The goal of the Kirikiriroa Marathon is to foster participation and completion, regardless of whether participants choose to run, walk, or combine both methods.
The event includes a full marathon category, as well as a relay option for teams of three.
