The immersive and unique Middle-earth Halfling Marathon™ allows runners and walkers to explore the unspoiled rolling green hills and storybook landscapes of the Waikato countryside.The track will cover a diverse terrain - from twists and turns over grassy knolls to spectacular vistas with 360 views, well earned by completing some steep inclines. Cross trickling streams into vibrant green pastures and through lush pockets of scattered tree-lines across the farmland.
All distances will journey through sites and scenes from the epic trilogies including some locations previously only ventured to by wizards and Halflings. Participants will roam through the picturesque village of Hobbiton, through Gandalf’s Cutting, past the Sackville™ Orchard and up to Bag End before weaving down to Bagshot Row and past the sparkling lakefront. If time allows, stop for a brief refreshment at The Green Dragon™ Inn before the final leg of your adventure to the finish line across from The Shire’s Rest™.
All participants will receive a specially designed Middle-earth Halfling Marathon medal with additional Middle-earth prizes for winners in all race distances.
