Introducing the Omaha Half
INTRODUCING THE ...
OMAHA HALF MARATHON
The half marathon course is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful – and fast – you will find anywhere. It features a full circumnavigation of the Omaha Peninsula, including 2km on the hard packed white sands of Omaha beach. Added to this is an out-and-back over the causeway and around the coastal reserve at historic Point Wells. Throughout, you are treated to wide sea views and the water is never more than a stone’s throw away. Both the 5k and 10k runs follow the route around the peninsula, with the 5k turning around near the surf club whilst the 10k continues right up to the bird sanctuary at the northern tip.

BEAUTIFUL OMAHA BEACH
Omaha Beach is one of Auckland's best beaches with kilometres of powder-white sand fringed by the clear, blue waters of the outer Hauraki Gulf. Real estate in these parts is ... pricey! But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy this beautiful location and there are a wide variety of rental properties to make a weekend of it. Nearby Point Wells is also well worth a visit with a wide, grassy estuary esplanade and a bike path that takes you all the way to nearby wine-lover's retreat, Matakana.
