Rotorua Marathon

Pre-Race Review/ Lineup

New Zeland's annual Rotorua Marathon is set for May 3rd. The race is being supported by World Wildlife Fund, Meningitis Trust, Heart Foundation, Parkinsons New Zealand and the Cancer Society, so runners have a new incentive this year. Directors are hoping for a turnout much larger than the 1900-runner race they held last year.
