Auckland Trail Run & Walk: Shakespear

The Shakespear Regional Park event, as part of the Auckland Trail Run & Walk Series, offers a variety of course lengths, accommodating different fitness levels and preferences. The park, known for its panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf and lush native bush, provides a picturesque backdrop for participants. The trails are well-maintained, with some challenging sections that add to the adventure, making it a fulfilling experience for both runners and walkers.

This event emphasizes environmental responsibility by being cupless. Participants are encouraged to bring their own reusable cups, hydration packs, or water bottles, which they can refill at designated stations throughout the course. This initiative not only reduces waste but also aligns with the scenic nature of the venue, promoting preservation of the natural beauty.

Accessibility is a key feature, with the park being within an hour’s drive from central Auckland, making it convenient for local participants and appealing for those visiting the area. The event fosters a community atmosphere, drawing a diverse group of participants who share a common interest in outdoor activities and environmental stewardship.
