Halberg Games 2026 Day One 💙 The regions brought the absolute vibes, energy and epic costumes to the Opening Ceremony!!

09/04/2026

Due to the approaching cyclone and worsening conditions expected from Sunday, we’ve made the decision to conclude the Halberg Games early to keep our community safe.

Saturday will now be our final day:
• Athletics will run as planned, followed by the Halberg Mile approx 1:30pm
• Closing Ceremony at 2:30pm in the Dome
• Families are encouraged to travel home on Saturday evening where possible

For those needing to stay, accommodation will still be available, with support in place if required.

Sunday’s outdoor activities are cancelled, with limited indoor options available if safe.

Important: Please connect with your Team Manager first for all travel or accommodation plans—they are your main point of contact.

The safety and wellbeing of our athletes, whānau, staff and volunteers remains our top priority. Thank you for your understanding and support 💙
