Events

The Shoe Science Auckland Half Marathon Series brings together five of New Zealand's premier active sports' events into a season-long goal for runners and walkers alike. Iconic half marathons in Devonport, Omaha, Coatesville, Maraetai and the beautiful Auckland Waterfront make up the seven-month long series which runs from October to April. Make this your fittest summer ever in the City of Sails and sign up for a series pass today!

Finisher Awards

Although each event can be tackled individually, the rewards for completing all five are what drive us. Each series event will present every finisher with a superb, event-themed finisher medal of unsurpassed quality. But keep your eyes on the ultimate prize. Those who complete all five series events (at any distance) earn themselves the ultimate accolade, the AHMS Grand Slam medal!

We take our finisher medals seriously

That's because - for many - this is the motivation to go the extra k, train the extra hour, do the extra work to make it to that hallowed finish line ...

Series Points
It's not all about the bling. Series Points - awarded in each distance - at each event accumulate throughout the season. Measure yourself against those in the same gender or age group to see how you're progressing. Had a poor one early on or just getting into your stride? The Grand Finale at the Waterfront Half Marathon offers double points ... there's still time to make some serious moves up the ladder. For those at the very top, beautiful trophies are awarded to the top points scorers in a variety of categories. Check out the detail in the Info section.

The Hoodie That Broke The Internet

Every person signing up for a Classic or Half Marathon Series Pass can choose from one of our two hoodie options - Dark Mode or Light Mode! Just the best way to keep warm on race morning ...

Super-Value Series Pass
There's no better value way to enjoy the very best of Auckland running and walking than an AHMS Series Pass. Deeply discounted race fees combined with stress-free free courier delivery and a whole host of awesome extra goodies. What are you waiting for? Sign up now, get the trainers on and we’ll see you in Devonport for Race One!

This race season, it’s about you.
You. And the Road.
