Event Information

The third annual Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon will be held on Saturday 9th May 2009. 

This 21km off-road run or walk captures the very essence of Marlborough: vines for miles, stunning scenery, autumn colours and diverse landscapes.

The course takes 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 this, we're eternally grateful to the private land owners who have allowed access through their vineyards and farms - without their permission, this event wouldn't be possible. Please visit the Super Heroes page for a list of these generous people and companies.

As a deserved reward, every finisher (over 18 yrs of age) will receive a complimentary bottle of wine from the highly acclaimed Saint Clair Estate Wines. Stick around after the race and laze the afternoon away with family and friends enjoying the cafe-style food and Saint Clair wines available.

Highlights for 2009 will include:

• Once again $5.00 from every entry will be donated to Project K Marlborough. Project K is a youth development program helping teenagers achieve their maximum potential.
• Automatic transponder timing, as well as online entry capability.
• The official introduction of the Hybrid section to accommodate participants who want to run and walk the 21km.
• Different rows will be marked for runners vs walkers to accommodate for the increased numbers, and to ensure runner's aren't delayed by walkers around the course.
• A course change in the first 1km to accommodate greater numbers and avoid congestion.
