The Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon is set in the picturesque Wairau Valley in Marlborough, where the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc is made.
Starting and finishing at the Saint Clair Vineyard Kitchen on Selmes Rd just outside Blenheim, the half marathon 21.1km course winds through vineyards, up and over short stop banks and alongside the mighty Wairau River. With the Wither Hills to the south, the Richmond Ranges to the north and the vineyards ablaze in their autumn colours, the Vineyard Half is the most scenic half marathon in New Zealand. Less than 4km of the course is on sealed road, and the course is mainly flat with off-road terrain that can be uneven underfoot.
