About the race
Run Auckland is a six-event running series held at selected locations across Auckland. The series comprises five events offering 5 km, 10 km and a Kids Dash, followed by a final event at Millwater that includes a Half Marathon alongside 10 km, 5 km and a Kids Dash. Events are staged at venues including Ambury Park (Mangere), Te Atatu Peninsula, Western Springs, Farm Cove (Pakuranga), and Millwater Estuary, with one course location to be confirmed. Participants may enter individual races or buy a discounted series pass covering all six events.
The series uses a performance-based points system that compares each result to the course record; points are calculated by Course Record Time ÷ Net Time × 1000. Category standings are separate for 10 km run, 10 km walk, 5 km run and 5 km walk; Race 6 allows 10 km and Half Marathon performances to count toward the 10 km category. Team trophies are awarded for small, medium and large teams based on average points.
The series also permits a limited number of Make Up Races for full series entrants under defined conditions. Event rules note that roads remain open to traffic, participants must follow safety briefings and organisers’ instructions, and walking categories must be completed by walking only.
