It’s not just a race
it’s a victory lap
Big fun in a small package. The Streamline Mile is the event for anyone and everyone. One mile, no pressure, max celebration. Here’s why it hits different:
Finish the weekend on a high
This is the grand finale — the music’s pumping, the crowd’s wild, and the medals are waiting.
1.6 km of pure Coastal hype
Fast enough for a PB. Chill enough for a stroller. Do it your way.
Family waves & kids welcome
Mini Milers, walkers, joggers — we’ve got a wave for you. No experience required.
Every finisher gets a medal
Because showing up is worth celebrating. Bonus points for costume creativity.
Simple, central, easy to love
Start and finish at Puke Ariki Landing right in the heart of the CBD.
Course Details
Ready to finish off the Coastal Five with a short and spicy finale?
The Streamline Mile is back — and this year it’s taking over the New Plymouth CBD! It’s short, it’s sharp, and it’s got just enough hills to keep you honest.
Our smallest race by distance is one of our biggest by energy. It’s the grand finale of the weekend, and we want the whole town there — with race waves for kids, legends, and everyone in between.
The course features a punchy two-lap loop through the heart of the city, packed with spectators, cheers, and that final rush to the finish line. This is your Coastal Five mic drop.
