About the race
The Feilding Festival of Running is a multi-distance road and park event held from Race HQ at the football clubrooms, Simon St, Timona Park, Feilding. The programme includes road and off-road options across several distances and categories, with entries priced between $10 and $100. Distances and formats: - Marathon run or walk (full road out-and-back) - Half marathon run or walk (Roy Lamberton Memorial, road out-and-back) - 10 km run or walk (road out-and-back) - 2.5 km and 5 km events (off-road, grass laps around Timona Park; one or two laps) The marathon, half marathon and 10 km use an out-and-back route; marathon participants complete the route twice. The 2.5 km and 5 km courses are entirely on grass, designed to be safer for children and suitable for buggies.
Water stations are provided at approximately 5 km intervals along the road route; participants are encouraged to carry additional personal supplies. Facilities at Race HQ include toilets and showers. Club trophies are awarded on cumulative times of the first three marathon finishers from the same Athletics NZ–affiliated club; club affiliation entered at registration is used for this category. A range of merit prizes and trophies are presented across events, including awards for fastest male and female, age-adjusted prizes, and team awards.
