Twelve thousand people have turned out in Wellington for the city's annual Round the Bays event.
Two thousand athletes competed in the half marathon, with another ten thousand taking part in the seven kilometre fun run and walk.
Event Director Craig Ireson says the event ran smoothly, and there were no major disruptions for motorists in the area.
Several runners however were treated for exhaustion and dehydration by medical staff.
Kenyan Kip Kemei won the men's half marathon in a time of one hour seven minutes, and London Olympics hopeful Mary Davies won the women's event with a time of one hour thirteen.
