welcome
Welcome to the Cape Egmont Half Marathon, Taranaki’s scenic half-distance running and walking event. Held annually in July, this point-to-point course takes you from Okato to Cape Egmont, finishing beside the iconic Cape Egmont Lighthouse. Participants can take on the full 21.8 km distance or enter as a two-person relay, making it a great challenge for both runners and walkers alike.
Run for a Reason
The Cape Egmont Half is more than a run. All funds raised support the Taranaki Cancer Society and Gabby’s Starlit Hope, honouring the spirit of our friend Andy through community, fitness and generosity. By taking part, you’re helping local families facing cancer while being part of something bigger than race day itself.
