It is time to register for the Pak 'N Save 3 Bridges Marathon in Whanganui on December 8.
The annual event is hosted by the Wanganui Harrier Club and spokesman Rob Condor said there had been some changes to the route this year.
"There won't be as many tight bends and it should be better for runners and walkers of all levels.
"The route is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs and entries are limited to 1000."
Condor said the marathon, now in its 15th year, was likely to attract a lot of entries this year and people should register early.
