On Saturday 1 May 2010, New Zealand's favourite and most run (or walked) marathon, the Lion Foundation Rotorua Marathon, along with the Lion Foundation 5km and 10km Fun Runs, will be held.
The Rotorua Marathon proves to be a hardy event that continues to draw experienced and fresh runners and walkers to its picturesque course. In 2010 the marathon will be held for the 46th consecutive year, bringing all the wonderful historical elements such as the Friday Pasta Dinner and the Sunday Breakfast. There will be the supportive and vocal locals out around the Lake whether at their own front gate or volunteering as part of a Drink Station ensuring you stay hydrated or at the Energy Events Centre assisting to take off your timing chip, supplying your ASICS finishers shirt or hot tea or cheerfully handing over the race number prior to it all beginning.
