Welcome to the 2021 Mizuno Waterfront Half Marathon. This is the half marathon that Auckland runners and walkers have been waiting for and over five thousand athletes are expected to toe the line on stunning Tamaki Drive in April. Flat, fast, traffic free and spectacularly scenic, the\u00a0 Mizuno Waterfront Half Marathon falls beautifully at the end of a summer of fitness in the City of Sails, making it the Grand Finale of the Mizuno Auckland Half Marathon Series.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event base is Selwyn Domain, right in the heart of Mission Bay. The race starts on Tamaki Drive, heading first to Mechanics Bay with the city skyline as a sighter before heading back along the stunning waterfront ribbon towards St Heliers. Finishers will feel the spray from the iconic Mission Bay fountain as they cross the line, earning themselves a beautiful commemorative finisher medal and … probably … a new PB. And if you’re not quite up to the half marathon just yet, there’s still the 10K Classic, 5K Fun Run & Walk or 2K Kids’ Dash to aim for. Yep, you guys get a medal too!<\/p>\n

On Course Entertainment
\n<\/strong>We know it, running a half marathon is tough! That’s why we’ve lined up awesome entertainment and giant inflatable arches for every single kilometre of the route. Whilst you’re enjoying the taiko drums, cover bands and DJs, your legs have forgotten how tired they were!<\/p>\n

Live Timing
\n<\/strong>The Mizuno Waterfront Half Marathon features one of the most advanced timing operations in Australasia. Athletes are tracked in real-time for every single kilometre of their journey, providing friends and family – at the venue and following along at home – with unique insight into their athlete’s progress. Mates can’t be there? Get them to plot your progress on an interactive map and cheers you on to the finish!<\/p>\n

Spectator Friendly<\/strong>
\nThe Mizuno Waterfront Half Marathon aims to be the most spectator friendly event in the country. Those taking on the 21K will pass the race site three times on their way to the finish line, so there’s no shortage of opportunities for cheers and encouragement. Meanwhile, whilst you are on the road, they can enjoy Mission Bay’s cafes, beach and play area without missing any of the action.<\/p>\n<\/div>
