A huge thanks to you all. Your positivity, athleticism and joy in your community contributed to making Dunedin Marathon 2026 another resounding success.
Thanks are due:
The input and support of Athletics NZ and their dedicated staff was immeasurable. The support and backing of all our wonderful sponsors, the contribution of our volunteers, the community groups who raised valuable funds for their causes, and most of all, and a person who epitomises the ethos of our Marathon, Mel Aitken, whose mentorship of 5 very successful runners and as Race Ambassador through trying times for her.
