2024 Run Auckland Series and Half

Once you have Entered then pick your date and time before the series starts to pick up your race pack. Dates will be arranged at a number of located leading up to the first event for everyone to pick these up.

You can also collect your Race Number and Timing Responder on the morning of their specific race up until 15 minutes before the start of the race.

No, Full Series Entrants keep the same Race Number and Timing Responder for the Entire Series so just need to turn up in time for the Race Safety Briefing.

If you are a Full Series Entrant YES, you keep the same Timing Responder for the entire Series.
If you are a Single Race Entrant NO, you will be issues with a disposable Timing Responder that can then be disposed of.

Sorry but NO Auckland Run are unable to change any T-Shirt sizes, as these are a special order which needs to be placed months in advance.

Provisional Results (subject to change after checking) will be published ASAP after the race, usually mid afternoon Sunday. Updated Results will be published a week later.

If your Time is not in the Provisional Results please email bart@racetiming.co.nz within 3 working days of the race, stating your Name, Race Number, Distance, Approximate Finish Time on the Race Clock at the Finish and any other details you can remember like people you finished near etc.

YES, alot of participants start out by doing some 5km races and near the end of the Series build up to the 10km distance. The distance at each race is entirely up to you and you are more than welcome to change distances even after you enter (see below for details).

YES, Distances can also be changed on Race Day up until 20 minutes before that Race Start, just let the team at the Registration Tent know, please note, this change will affect your Series Points and there is no guarantee your time will appear in the Provisional Results.

Single Race entries are Non Transferrable for Series Entrants. As we have a points system it is unfair on other participants competing for the Series Age Group awards and we also need to know exactly who is on course in case of medical emergency.

Sorry Entry Fees are Non Refundable as we offer such great prices and incentives.
