Run Auckland Series and Half Marathon
The Run Auckland Series and Half Marathon is a six-event running series held at purpose-picked locations across Auckland. The first five events each offer 5 km, 10 km and a Kids Dash, and the final event at Metro Park, Millwater includes a Half Marathon plus 10 km, 5 km and a Kids Dash.
Distances in the series:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
- Kids Dash (2.5 km)
Participants can enter single events or buy a discounted series pass that covers all six events. A finisher medal is awarded at the final event, and participants who complete all six events receive a special series medal. The event operates a performance-based points system that compares each result to category course records to generate series points and age-group standings. Points are recorded within specific categories such as 10 km run, 10 km walk, 5 km run and 5 km walk; points from different categories are not combined.
Race rules note that all roads remain open to traffic, participants must follow safety briefings and event officials, and walking and running are judged separately. A Make Up Race option is available for full series entrants under specific conditions and with evidence submitted to organisers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
