Waterfront Half Marathon

This event features a scenic out-and-back course that begins in St Heliers and follows the picturesque Tamaki Drive along the Eastern beaches. Runners will experience stunning views of the coastline before joining Quay Street at Mechanics Bay. The route then leads participants into Downtown Auckland, where it includes a loop around notable landmarks such as The Cloud and Ferry Building.

As runners make their way back east, there’s a brief segment past the boat sheds on Ngapipi Road, adding to the local charm. The course concludes at Vellenoweth Green, offering a pleasant finish area for participants.

For those seeking shorter distances, options include a 10K, a 5K Fun Run & Walk, and a 2K Kids’ Dash, allowing for a range of abilities and age groups to participate. The event fosters a community atmosphere, encouraging family involvement and local engagement.
