Calum Nicholson: Christchurch Marathon Event Director on the record number of participants - The All Sport Breakfast

A record number of runners and walkers will take over Christchurch’s central city this Sunday (13 April) for the largest ever Christchurch Marathon event.  

More than 6,700 participants have entered the event across its four distances: the Christchurch Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10 km, and Kids Mara’fun.  

That is 27% more than participated in 2024 and is the largest field the event has ever seen. 

Event director Calum Nicholson joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss the uptake in runners from the garden city.
