If you're looking for a truly unique, wonderfully different, spectacularly beautiful marathon experience, you've come to the right place. The Mighty Totara Twilight Marathon starts in the late evening - just before the sun goes down - and comprises six laps of the Mighty Totara night time course with a 2km out-and-back lead in. This unique running experience ends with a superb Mighty Totara finisher medal and a legendary Twilight Marathon "halo".

The Night Tme loop at the Mighty Totara has been designed for minimum fuss and maximum ease of navigation. Much of the vertical gain of the Day Time course has been ironed out, leaving an eminently achievable marathon on a mix of gravel farm road, single track forest trail and concrete footpath. Take in the stunning soundtrack of the park as the hustle and bustle of the city melts away into the night.

We promise a running experience unlike anything you else and one that focuses as much on what you can hear and what you can smell as what you can see.

Important! Even if your event does not qualify for an allocated spot in Tent City, you can still join in the fun and enjoy the atmosphere. All athletes have full use of the communal rest area - directly opposite the finish line - and there is plenty of space around the outside of Tent City for your friends and family to bring a blanket or camping chairs and setup an impromptu personalised aid station.
