I ran the Auckland Marathon with my wife in 2010 and found it to be a great race. On the morning of the race, you can take the ferry ride across Auckland Harbor to get to the starting line… it’s a fun way to meet other runners and get a nice view of the city skyline before the sun comes up. You then get another great view of the city when you run back to Auckland over the famous Auckland Harbor Bridge. There are many scenic miles along the waterways of Auckland in the latter half of the marathon, and you get to finish in a nice big park in the city center. Weather was perfect the year we ran it, and there were plenty of aid stations along the course. Auckland is a beautiful city and a great home base to start exploring other parts of New Zealand, which we did after the marathon. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it to other runners.
