2023 Rotorua Marathon

A cool damp morning ...

.... set the scene for the 59th Rotorua Marathon.

The Marathon run was, for most of the course, a tightly fought tussle between local favourite Michael Voss, and Malcolm Hicks of Wesley Athletic & Harrier Club. Hicks pulled away over the last couple of kilometres to secure a well earned win. 

The local supporters were rewarded with Alice Mason taking women's honours with a 10 minute lead over Auckland's Gabriela Diver.

Penny Purcell was first home in the marathon walk for the second consecutive year.
