Auckland Marathon set for October 28

If you tumble out of bed early enough on Sunday, October 28, you can catch the rare spectacle of around 7500 people jogging across the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

The eighth BMW Auckland Marathon bursts on to Auckland's streets at 6.30 am from the waterfront in Devonport. Runners have two hours to cover the 13km to the harbour bridge on-ramp at Northcote before it's back to vehicles only.

Once they have crossed the bridge, the course takes them from Westhaven to the Viaduct, all the way to the end of Tamaki Drive and back to the finish at Victoria Park.
