Finally, a chance to run with your best friend! An off road walking/running event set in the beautiful Bottle Lake Forest and beaches of Christchurch. The 4 Paws Marathon is a dream inspired by a passionate Sport & Exercise Doctor who loves running with his dogs. The event is a celebration of ‘exercise is medicine’ as well as a salute to our best friend and loyal exercise ally.

With a choice of 2.5km, 5km, 10km, 16km, half marathon, 32.2km and marathon distances, the 4 Paws is designed to cater for all levels of fitness. The 4 Paws is a tribute to all runners and their dogs who love exercising in our great New Zealand back yard.
