About the Hill Free
The New Balance Hill Free Half Marathon event is a running and walking race catering for all ages and abilities consisting of a Half Marathon run, 10km run/walk and a 2km run for children under 12.
As the name suggests, these races are hill free. Run on the Taieri Plains around the rural setting of Outram (Dunedin, New Zealand), this event is becoming more and more popular to the novice athlete for the experience factor.
It is also popular with the more elite level athletes who are looking for a personal best and is often used as the Otago Half Marathon Champion event.
This year the New Balance Hill Free will be held on the 9th October 2011.
Both the Half Marathon and 10km courses are IAAF/AIMS certified, meaning they are accurately measured and any records broken can be acknowledge as valid.
We have for the third year included a 12 and under race.
