Course Overview
Course overview: Located in the Centre of Hamilton and nestled on the side of the mighty Waikato River, Hamilton Gardens offers picturesque views and wonderfully manicured gardens.

You will then trail along the undulating river banks lined with lush native bush.
Suitable for: Lovers of magical autumn colours. Great for first timers being a flat easy course. Also fantastic for experienced runners looking for a new PR.
