Lochmara Half Marathon

The excitement in the air, as we all queue to board the two handsome passenger catamarans at the Beachcomber wharf this November the 9th, we will have all the anticipation of the previous 9 half marathons.  The 1 hour cruise to the start line at Anakiwa has a unique energy. As we motor out of Picton Harbour, huddles of friends gather aboard to tell each other they haven’t done enough training, perhaps an early excuse just in case they have a slow day, whilst the more serious close their eyes and focus on everything they have learned in training and then rethink their race plan. It will be just a couple of hours before all will be forgotten and the beckoning Lochmara Lodge, a swim and a relaxing drink and lunch will be front of mind. 
 
This is your invitation to not only run this beautiful course, but also to dust off the winter just past, maybe loose a bit of weight and lift your fitness levels and join 199 other competitors in this the 10th anniversary Lochmara Lodge Half Marathon in 2024.
