Our beach runs take you the full length of Takapuna Beach — one of Auckland's most iconic coastlines.
Running on sand builds serious leg strength, which makes this the perfect training ground if you're preparing for your next 10km or half marathon road race.
And if you're new to running, you'll soon discover the hardest part is simply getting out the door. That's where we come in — a weekly commitment you can't back out of. Use your weekly timed results to track your progress, and as those times improve, so will your motivation.
Our beach runs are run or walk events, so they suit every ability. Our crew will be there to cheer you through that last hundred metres.
🏅 Medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each age group are awarded at our end-of-season prizegiving.
