The following Athletics New Zealand affiliated clubs regularly support Rotorua Marathon and can be approached to help you prepare for Rotorua Marathon and associated events.
Lake City's popular Marathon Clinic caters for both runners and walkers to help prepare particularly first timers for the Rotorua Marathon and Red Stag Timber Half Marathon. The clinic has two sections, with the walk section getting underway early October / November and the running section towards the end of January. All abilities are catered for but it is preferred when first attending that you can walk comfortably at your own pace for at least 2 hours and run for a least 1 and ΒΌ hours at you own pace. The Marathon clinic is a great way to gain a fitness base in the company and camaraderie of others.
