In 2024 the Merrell Race Tekapo has a new feature - the Hang Out Zone. This is a place for all competitors to feel welcome pre and post race.
The Hang Out Zone is a place to go if you want to connect with other runners and walkers before your race starts. Maybe your race starts early and your supporters are still in bed, or maybe you are in Lake Tekapo on your own. Come and find some support before you head out on the trails.
After your race finishes you can hang out with your medal around your neck and catch your breath. You might have friends or family still out on course, or you might be at the event on your own. The Hang Out Zone is the perfect place.
No tickets are required. Just come on over and get some support and enjoy the camaraderie amongst your peers.
Unique to the event is the epic Fun Photoshoot!!
Each year a different scene is planned where props are placed out on location. Competitors can choose to participate in the Fun Photoshoot on their way around their course.
2024 will see our most elaborate scene yet!!
Cryptic Clue: KIWI SUMMERTIME
The Race Village will be the place to hang out during the day. There is a festival vibe at the event so feel free to grab some food and refreshments from the vendors on site or bring a picnic.
There is music and commentary throughout the day and over a thousand people to cheer over the finish line.
And make sure you stick around to cheer on the Kids Dash at 2:30pm - this is always great fun to watch!
Prize Giving will be held at the Race Village at 3:30pm.
Join us for the podium awards as well as the major spot prizes!
Please view each race distance page to view Age Categories.
Note: There must be 10 or more people per age category for prizes to be awarded.
