From the electric atmosphere of the inner-city road racing course to rugged trail adventures in Nelson’s stunning backyard, The Spectacle offers something for everyone — all in one unforgettable weekend.
With events for runners and walkers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, it’s a chance to explore one of the world’s most breathtaking running destinations: Whakatū Nelson.
And when the racing winds down, the party kicks off — with the elite road mile lighting up the streets, featuring Olympic athletes from around the world, and a free community concert in the heart of town.
