Sunday this previous week I was fortunate enough to complete one of my favourite marathons in the Auckland Marathon. This was the third time that I have completed this event and I am always astounded at the amount of people that they get for the marathon. The event attracted over 3000 participants for the marathon with a fair number also taking part in the half marathon and the 10 and 5KM events.
The organisers do an amazing job and have a great amount of really superb volunteers who are not only friendly and helpful but go above and beyond to assist the runners. Sponsorship is lead by Adidas who offer all participants an amazing amount of freebies. All in all so many other marathons can model themselves on the high standards set by Auckland. Just over $80 for a marathon and the chance to run over the Auckland Harbour Bridge – what an absolute pleasure.
