Mini Marathon
This event is run in conjunction with the Buller Gorge Marathon.
The Buller Mini Marathon provides an opportunity for parents and young children to participate in physical activity. On the day of the Buller Gorge Marathon, a mini marathon is organised for children aged up to 12 years and consists of a 2.0 km fun run. This event is held each year on the 2nd Saturday of February.
Over the years this event has attracted 300-400 participants.
Holcim Mini Marathon:
The Mini Marathon is a 2km fun run/walk that starts from Victoria Square, and finishes through the official Buller Gorge Marathon finishing chute.
The emphasis of this event is on participation, so it would be great to see all the local children getting involved. Entry is open to children aged up to 12 years, and parents are welcome to stretch their legs behind a pushchair if their children are too small to walk the distance themselves.
Entry is $2 per child. Entries forms can be picked up from Sport Buller, Westport Swimming Pool, Gibson Sports & Toy World or Local Primary schools.
