The Canterbury Half Marathon takes place in Pegasus Town, offering participants scenic routes around the lake with views of water, walkways, and local homes. The event includes options for runners and walkers of all abilities, with both running and walking sections in the half marathon and a shorter run and walk. A hybrid category allows participants to alternate between running and walking. There is also a Kidz Dash, providing a shorter course for children to experience a large-scale running event along the lake. The course is described as fast and flat.
