First Light Marathon & Half Marathon

The First Light Marathon takes place in Tairāwhiti Gisborne, Aotearoa New Zealand, which is known for being the first city in the world to see the sun each day. Its spectacular coastline and the steep green hills provide a magical backdrop to this unique race.

Runners will herald in the sunrise as they crest the many hills and race along its golden sandy beaches. This tough route offers various surfaces, from concrete to sand and grassy hills, so be prepared to sweat! It will all be worth it as we celebrate each other’s accomplishments at the finale dinner.  

Be the first in the world to greet the new day as you race along the coast
