The next Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon will be held on Saturday 12 May 2012 and entries are now open.
You are advised to enter early as this event can fill up quickly!  We look forward to seeing you there!

Course Description

This event takes participants on a 21.1km journey of Marlborough wine, taking you between the rows of Marlborough's vineyards for a unique chance to get up close and personal with Marlborough's famous Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes. 

For one day a year 25 generous Marlborough landowners grant us access through their properties and give you the opportunity to run, walk and soak up the vistas of Marlborough's Wairau Valley. Without their permission, this event wouldn't be possible. Please visit the Super Heroes page for a list of these generous people and companies.

The 21.1km off-road run or walk captures the very essence of Marlborough: vines for miles, stunning scenery and the golden hues of autumn. Previous participants often cite the 5km section along the banks of the Wairau River as a highlight.

As you make your way around the Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon course, you’ll pass through vineyards owned by some of Marlborough’s best known wine companies, including:

Saint Clair Family Estate, Cloudy Bay, Allan Scott Family Estate, Wairau River Wines, Starborough, Morton Estate Ltd, Babich Wines, Stoneleigh, Drylands, Giesen Wines, Whitehaven.
