Introducing AHMS
The Shoe Science Auckland Half Marathon Series (AHMS for short) brings together the five premier half marathon events in Tamaki Makaurau into a single, season-long challenge. Points are awarded to all finishers in each race and accumulate towards the Grand Finale on the Auckland waterfront in April. No matter what distance you run or walk -and no matter where you place - you'll earn points towards the final series standings and let you compare how you did against your peers, or versus previous seasons.
The ultimate commitment demands the ultimate reward. For those who complete all five series events - at any distance - the Grand Slam medal is the mark of a season-long goal accomplished. New for the 24/25, the Grand Slam medal will be unique, hefty and supremely collectable. As a further incentive to our most dedicated participants, those who complete all five series events in-person at the half marathon distance will receive their medal with a distinctive colour flourish. Watch this space for the Grand Slam medal reveal on June 1st!

Your electronic timing tag isn't the only vital item on the back of your official AHMS running bib.

Store Locations
You can find Shoe Science at six great locations around Auckland. Find Mike and his team at either Albany or Silverdale on the North Shore and Ray on Anzac St in Takapuna. South of the bridge, Neil looks after things at Mt Eden and Newmarket whilst you'll often see Trent & Connie from the Pukekohe store at the events (running or back-slapping - sometimes both!).
Thanks team!
