About the race
Coastal Five is a multi-race running weekend held in Taranaki over two days that combines five individual events to total a marathon distance when completed together. Participants may enter a single event, mix and match multiple races, or complete all five events for a combined distance of 42.2 km. Each race is timed individually and results contribute to the total distance.
The event program includes varied terrain and settings described as coastal paths, park trails, and climbs around the Taranaki region. A community breakfast is offered as a new feature for 2026, limited to 70 guests, and race weekend activities include pack collection and a guest Q&A at that breakfast.
