The Cromwell & Districts Promotions Group is thrilled to welcome New World Cromwell as the Principal Partner for the 2025 Cromwell Half Marathon, 10km and Teams Relay, taking place on Saturday 11 October.

This much-loved event showcases one of Central Otago’s most scenic running experiences, following the picturesque Lake Dunstan Trail from Alpha Street Reserve to Pisa Moorings and back. With breathtaking lake views, crisp spring air, and undulating hills, the course offers a rewarding challenge for runners of all ages and abilities.

“Supporting local is a big part of who we are,” says Matthew Dobson, owner-operator of New World Cromwell. “We’re proud to support an event that brings the community together, encourages people to get active, and highlights just how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful part of the country.”

Whether you're a seasoned runner, weekend warrior, part of a relay team, or joining in with the kids – this is a truly family-friendly event that welcomes everyone to take part.

Event contractor Terry Davis from Highland Events says the partnership with New World Cromwell brings strong local backing to what’s become a standout fixture on the regional running calendar.

“This event has grown into something pretty special. The energy, the scenery, and the community support make it one not to miss. Having New World Cromwell on board really lifts it to the next level.”
