The Harcourts Cooper and Co Shore to Shore course features a scenic route that begins at Takapuna Grammar School and winds along the coastal beauty of Takapuna and Milford beaches before concluding at Milford Reserve. This route allows participants to enjoy expansive views of the ocean and beachfront throughout their run or walk.
Participants are encouraged to dress up in fun costumes, adding a festive atmosphere to the event. The finish line at Milford Reserve turns into a hub of celebration with various competitions, spot prizes, and entertainment, making it a family-friendly event.
As North Harbour’s largest annual fun run, the Shore to Shore serves not only as a community fitness event but also as a fundraiser. All proceeds from the event are donated back to local schools in the form of sports equipment grants, reinforcing community support and involvement. This aspect highlights the event’s dual focus on health promotion and educational support.
