The Southern Cross Round the Bays in Auckland is scheduled for 2 March 2025. This event is recognized as the largest of its kind in New Zealand.
The course, which is relatively flat, traces the beautiful coastline of the Waitematā Harbour. Participants will start their journey from Quay Street in the central business district, ultimately reaching the finish line at St Heliers Bay.
This event draws large crowds every year, uniting different cultures, workplaces, and abilities in a vibrant display of unity and enthusiasm. Known as Auckland’s grandest street party, the course features various entertainment options that participants can enjoy while walking, jogging, running, or rolling.
Participants can participate individually, with friends, family, colleagues, or as part of a team.
The Southern Cross Round the Bays is part of the Round The Bays Series. The next event in the series will be held in Christchurch on 30 March 2025, while the previous one took place in Wellington on 16 February 2025.
