2023 Emerson's Dunedin Marathon Registration

Background

The Dunedin Marathon had been run annually starting from 1979 until being interrupted by Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the event made a successful return with brand new courses and a new named sponsor, Emerson’s.

In 2023, the event was held on adjusted courses introduced in 2022. However, to provide a greater finishing experience for runners, walkers and supporters the finish was relocated to the on ramp/road approaching Emerson’s.

The full marathon course is AIMS certified

The full marathon course is AIMS Certified from 2022 to the end of 2026. This means you can use your result in the full marathon as a means to qualify for international marathons like the Boston Marathon.

A very big special thank you to Amanda Bethell from Auckland for sponsoring certification.
