The adidas Auckland Marathon
Run on Sunday 28 October 2007
The adidas Auckland Marathon course runs from Devonport on Auckland's North Shore, around the shopping district of North Shore City, then crosses the northern motorway before turning south to the Harbour Bridge.
After crossing the Bridge, the course takes in Westhaven Marina, the Viaduct Harbour (the halfway mark), before heading out along Auckland City's waterfront. This section of the course is an out and back, with the turn point being in St Helier's Bay. The return leg follows the same course back to the Viaduct Harbour for a finish at Victoria Park.
The first half of the course is best described as "rolling" while the second half, other than two road bridges, is flat.
Due to safety constraints at the start and finish, on the course and on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, a total entry limit of 7,500 crossing the bridge is imposed for the Marathon and the Half Marathon.
