Yes! Each event has it's own medals. For the individual 42.2km (those racing all 5 events) you will receive your medal at the end of the last event - the Raceway Mile.

Yes, there are bag drops at the start/finish of each event.

The Coastal Five is a cupless event. For 2025 all Individual 42.2km and half marathon entrants will receive a collapsible cup that are easy to carry on you during the race to fill at aid stations.

Yes. There are four water stations on the half marathon course at 4km, 8.5km, 12.5km and 17km. The aid stations are stocked with water and Pure Nutrition product.

In the Pukeiti 10km there is 1 aid station at the 5km turnaround point.

For all other events water stations are at the start/finish lines.

We welcome walkers to the event and encourage people of all abilities to come and give one or all of the events a go.

However, as we need to move race infrastructure between each event within a short period of time have applied cut-off times for two of the events. These are 4 hours 15 minutes for the half-marathon and 2.5 hours for the 10km climb.

We will do our best to accommodate all walkers out on course but if you finish outside of these cut-off times we can not guarantee a race time or road closures in the case of the 10km climb or Mile.

Headphones are strongly discouraged during the half marathon and Pukekura 5km run. There are parts of these events where runners will be on roads that are not closed to traffic and the use of headphones can inhibit a person's awareness of their surroundings.

Where headphones are used we request them to be removed during any on-road sections of the race.

No, you can enter any event individually or you can complete all five events as part of a team.

We encourage people of all abilities, ages and backgrounds to compete. If you are entering all five races as an individual we recommend that you can run a minimum of 45 minutes without stopping.

Anywhere from 2-5 members. It's up to you how many events each person completes.

Please refer to the individual event pages for information on minimum ages.

Yes! Prizegiving will be at the end of the Raceway Mile at the Racecourse.
