Gizzy Laser Half Marathon (plus 10k & 5k options)

This is the fourth year of our Gizzy Laser Half Marathon event, sponsored by local business Laser Electrical and Plumbing. Join us for one of 3 distances (5k, 10k or 21k). We start and finish at Matawhero Winery and run the stop bank track along the scenic Waipaoa River. Walkers* and runners welcome. This course is flat and fast so if you're interested in trying for a PB, this is your race!

New this year... all finishers get a medal!
