Run & Walk Events is a series of events designed for runners and walkers of all abilities, including kids, who are in training for any of the adidas Auckland Marathon events.
There are 4 great courses in and around Auckland with a choice of distances at each event. The courses are on 6-8km loop's and give you the opportunity to practice a number of things such as your hydration and nutrition on the day and pacing for the adidas Auckland half and full marathons.
The timing and distances of the events are designed to fit your training programmes so you can achieve your goals at this year's adidas Auckland Marathon. At each event we will provide laps split so you can check your pacing / timing and we will be placing accurate km markers out for you as well.
