We wanted to give you an update on the likelihood of the 2022 Rotorua Marathon going ahead on Saturday 7 May.  

Our desire is to hold an event that is safe for all participants, supporters and anyone involved behind-the-scenes. We also have to adhere to traffic light settings and like everyone at the moment, we have no idea when a change from red will occur. 

While 12 weeks still feels like a long way to go, we know the investment of time and energy it takes to prepare for an event like the Rotorua Marathon and we don’t want anyone to feel they have been left in the lurch!  

With this in mind, the team are working through all possible scenarios and will provide an update by Thursday 24 February. This will be posted via the Rotorua Marathon website and social media channels and also emailed directly to all entrants for the 2022 Rotorua Marathon. We will also update on the Athletics NZ website.

It has been a challenging few years, but we are very grateful for your ongoing support of  the Rotorua Marathon.
