Training plan for the ASICS Christchurch Marathon
Sunday, 18 April 2027 in Christchurch, New Zealand. That is 27 weeks away.
When a build would have to start
ALLUNGO plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
Half — a 14-week build, 4 runs a week
Starts the week of 4 January 2027 — 13 weeks in hand.
Marathon — a 18-week build, 5 runs a week
Starts the week of 7 December 2026 — 9 weeks in hand.
On the day
Distances: Half, Marathon. Entries, course and timings are christchurchmarathon.co.nz’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — ALLUNGO sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
