Few non-residents linger longer than they have to in the Waikato town, recently named the country's worst. The butt of jokes for generations of New Zealanders, the town appears to have little, if anything, going for it. But the Huntly of news reports and urban legend is not the Huntly that many of its current and former residents know. MARK TAYLOR/STUFF The nearly 40-year-old Huntly Half Marathon is NZ's oldest standalone half marathon event. Costing just $35 for halfers who book early and $10 for the kids' run, it's a strong contender for New Zealand's best value half marathon too.
