MONACO MID WINTER MARATHON

The only full Marathon event on offer in the Nelson – Tasman region.


Saturday 06 July 2024

The Monaco Marathon boasts one of the most scenic and the most affordable marathons in the country. 

The event is now in its 11th year and organised by Active4Good, a non-profit organisation whose ethos is to promote participation in sport whilst raising much needed funds to support active recreation in the Nelson Tasman. Details of our other events can be found HERE.

The idea of this event is to break down the barriers to participation and give everyone a good chance to compete in or complete a full marathon (42.2km) running/walking event.

The event boasts both a solo full marathon, with run or walk options. For those with a little less confidence, you can enter as a two-person relay and do approximately a half marathon each or get together with some mates and enter as a four-person team.
