Coast is proud to present The Spectacle Running Festival powered by Puma!

This isn’t just any running event, it’s New Zealand’s most exciting new festival for runners, walkers, and adventurers of all levels this December 5-6.

From a fast-paced 5km through the heart of the city, to a scenic 21km, to a rugged 100-mile trail race, The Spectacle has something for everyone.

Whether you’re chasing a PB or just love a good challenge, this is your chance to be part of something epic. And it’s not just about the run — enjoy a free concert by The Black Seeds, delicious food, and Olympic athletes racing head-to-head in the centre of Whakatū Nelson.

It’s the ultimate way to kick off your summer.
