Coastal Five

Coastal Five offers a refreshing way to experience New Plymouth’s coastline through five distinct races spread over two days. You can pick a single race or take on all five, covering a full marathon distance in total. Each course varies in challenge and scenery, from a half marathon along the coast to a scenic hill climb and a quick mile sprint. Whether you prefer running, jogging, or walking, the event lets you enjoy the region’s trails, parks, and hills at your own pace. The event suits those who appreciate variety in their outdoor activities and want to mix endurance with scenic views. You’ll find yourself moving through different landscapes, each with its own rhythm and pace, which keeps the experience engaging throughout. It’s a chance to test your limits while soaking in the natural beauty around you. Sharing the weekend with others who enjoy the outdoors adds a subtle layer of camaraderie without feeling overwhelming.
