About this race
The Queenstown 10km starts on Allan Crescent in Frankton and finishes at the Queenstown Memorial Centre Recreation Ground, joining the closing stages of the marathon and half marathon courses. From Frankton the route follows trails alongside the Kawarau River before tracking the shoreline of Lake Wakatipu towards central Queenstown, finishing through Queenstown Gardens. The course is a mix of hard-packed trail and sealed road, and is largely flat and fast, making it well suited to runners chasing a quick time as well as those out for an easier, scenic run. Throughout, the route offers views across Lake Wakatipu towards the Crown Range and The Remarkables. As the shortest timed distance in the Queenstown Marathon festival, the 10km draws a broad field of club athletes, casual runners and visitors keen to experience the Queenstown Lakes district on foot.
