HAMILTON GARDENS

​​Hamilton Gardens is a public garden park on the south side of Hamilton and is the home to our start and finish line.  The 54-hectare park is based on the banks of the Waikato River and includes enclosed gardens, open lawns, a lake, a nursery and convention centre.  The gardens allows you to transport yourself through time and to far-flung corners of the world.  Walk through a lush tropical jungle, visit ancient China and indulge yourself in a Renaissance Prince's 16th century garden.  Five garden collections have been created to delight the senses.

FOOD TRUCKS IN THE GARDENS

Our finish area will have a selection of local food trucks that will offer coffee, carbs and so much more. Come, relax, and grab a bite to eat. Bring your picnic rug, chairs, and bean bags to enjoy the celebrations and awards after the race.
