8th Continent Marathon
The 8th Continent Marathon is an athletic event held within the Auckland Domain. Organized by the Y Marathon Club, the race features a course consisting of a 5.28 km loop. Participants complete multiple laps of this circuit to reach their target distance, with both the start and finish lines located at the Auckland Domain Grandstand.
The event offers two primary distances:
- Full Marathon: 8 laps of the course.
- Half Marathon: 4 laps of the course.
The race infrastructure includes several facilities for participants. Changing rooms, showers, and toilets are accessible under the grandstand and upstairs. There are two aid stations along the route; one is situated at the start line and another is located by the museum. These stations provide water in disposable cups and hydration products. Runners are also permitted to leave personal drink bottles at a designated reception table.
A supervised bag storage area is available at the top of the Grandstand for those who wish to store belongings during the race. All participants who complete their respective distances receive a medal. Registration and check-in take place at the Grandstand on the morning of the event. Car parking is available throughout the Auckland Domain and on nearby side streets, though time limits vary by location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
