Join us for an unforgettable experience in the beautiful Akaroa Harbour. Each course hugs the rim of an ancient volcano; over looking the sparkling waters of the Akaroa Harbour to the right, and the South Pacific Ocean to the left.

Run Akaroa is all about the experience - celebrating the elite runners through to first time competitors. The courses are designed for maximum wow-factor and for this day only runners and walkers can safely enjoy "Summit Road" by foot.

Whether you are coming to Akaroa for the day or making a weekend of it, spend time discovering the history of Banks Peninsula and immerse yourself in the culture and atmosphere of this historic town in Canterbury. There is so much to do it's no wonder Akaroa is a top location for visitors from all over the country and around the world!

Join us in Autumn 2026 and experience the inaugural Run Akaroa.
