HAWKES BAY, NEW ZEALAND
RUNNERS: Air New Zealand Hawkes Bay Marathon Participant
THE EXPERIENCE: Hawkes Bay is the oldest wine region in New Zealand and procures a natural wonderland of “beautiful vineyards, olive groves, orchards and pretty countryside to run through,” says Penny Watson, marketing communications manager at Ironman. “The unique mixture of running terrain – quiet country roads, residential streets, cycle pathways and vineyard trails – allows runners to take in the best highlights of the district,” says Watson. Plus, you can treat yourself with a taste of award-winning wines and food at your runs end.
