Play in the Bay.  Stay in the Bay.

 THE 126.6tm

Serious Bragging Rights Are Yours 

This is a series unlike any other in New Zealand.  It’s a series of 6 off road half marathons that will take you to some of Hawke’s Bay’s choicest locations.

It’s the challenge you didn’t know you were waiting for.  A challenge that will take you to some places you cannot usually get to see, some you may not have been to before, and some that you may not have seen for a while.  A challenge that is unique to Hawke’s Bay.  

But it’s okay we’ll let you in even if you aren’t from Hawke’s Bay.  In fact we want you to come here for your winter running for a change.  We’ve got the weather.  We’ve got the food and wine.  And we’ve got something for the family to do while you enjoy some great running.  So come, stay and play in Hawke’s Bay this winter.
