The Whakatāne Bush Half Marathon 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, 18 July 2026, in the scenic coastal region of Ōhope and Whakatāne, New Zealand. Participants will gather at the Ohope Christian Fellowship Church on Maraetotora Road to take part in a nature-focused event featuring a variety of terrains, including gravel roads, native bush single tracks, and sealed sections. Given the mid-winter timing in July, weather conditions in Ōhope are typically cool and can be unpredictable, with temperatures often ranging between 8°C and 15°C, so participants should prepare for potential wind or rain. The event offers a rugged experience that prioritizes coastal and bush scenery over pure speed.
