Tōmoana Showgrounds is proud to support the Hawke’s Bay Marathon by providing a convenient Park & Ride service for participants and supporters. While the marathon itself is hosted across the wider region, Tōmoana offers a central, easy-access location to park your vehicle and catch shuttle buses to the start line — and return safely after the race.

Easy, Stress-Free Transport on Race Day

Race day parking and transport can be challenging. Using the Park & Ride service at Tōmoana Showgrounds helps reduce congestion near the start and finish areas, while providing runners with a smooth, organised way to get to where they need to be.

How the Park & Ride Works

• Drive to Tōmoana Showgrounds, Hastings

• Park in designated marathon parking areas

• Board shuttle buses transporting runners to the marathon start line

• After the race, return shuttle services bring participants back to Tōmoana Showgrounds

This service is designed to make race day as smooth and stress-free as possible.
