The Aon Whitianga Marathon organising team have been closely monitoring the Covid-19 Omicron situation and have made the difficult decision not to run the Whitianga Marathon event as planned on Saturday 21st May and have rescheduled the event for spring this year.

The Whitianga Marathon organising team have stated in the current Covid-19 environment there continues to be much uncertainty about whether events can or can’t run over the next 2 months.

New date for Whitianga Marathon 2022

The good news from the organising team is that the event will still be held this year and has been moved to the new date of Saturday 15th October 2022. The team believes this new date will give participants a great reason to train late in winter and is the perfect excuse for a short break to the Coromandel in spring.

Whitianga Marathon entry information

Organisers have stated that all current entrants will be offered either a full deferral to the 15 October date or a full refund if that date does not suit as follows:

  • If you are happy to defer your entry to Saturday 15 October then you don’t need to take any action, your entry will automatically roll over to October
  • Email organisers if you wish to receive a refund and please note that all refund applications must be submitted by Monday 4th of April.
