City to Surf

Following the tragic events involving Mauao in February 2026, access to the base track is currently prohibited. As a result, some changes have been made to the courses for this year’s Mitre 10 Mega Tauranga City to Surf.

The half marathon and 5km will change course to keep the distance. However, the historic 11km City to Surf will be shortened to 8.5kms until the use of Mauao is restored. Updated maps and course descriptions are now available.

We appreciate your understanding as we work with the circumstances and continue to support our local community. While we may not be able to access the base track, the beach hasn’t moved – the iconic sand finish line will still be waiting for you!

Mauao has always been at the heart of this event, and we hope to bring the buzz back to the beach. Whether running or walking, we want to see your energy turn up and support the Mount as it rebuilds and recovers, and look forward to the future when we can utilise this amazing track once again.

Corporate and Gym/club Challenge
Prove that your company or club is the fastest in the Bay by taking on the City to Surf Corporate and Gym/Club Challenge.

This is a chance for your company or gym/sports club to do some great team bonding, train together, swap the business attire and take on the 8.5km City to Surf event.

How does the Corporate and Gym/Club Challenge work?
Teams must consist of a minimum of 5 people; there is no maximum number of competitors per team. You must supply a Corporate or Sports Gym/Club name when registering to be eligible for the challenges. The winning Corporate and Gym/Club teams will be announced at the prize giving on Sunday and awarded with their trophies and prizes. Your combined individual pacing for your first five team members calculates your overall team place, plus all your team members are eligible for individual grade positions, e.g. if your team positions are 14th Male, 22nd Male, 32nd Male, 4th Female and 19th Female, meaning your team total is 4+22+32+4+19=91 points

Note: All members of your corporate team must be employees, relatives, partners, clients, contractors or suppliers of the company, and the Gym/Club team must be all members of the club or gym.
