About North Shore Run Series
The North Shore … what a great place to run!
Welcome to the Harcourts Cooper & Co North Shore Run Series … formerly the Albany Lakes Summer Series. We are thrilled in 2020 to expand the phenomenally successful Albany series to encompass three great locations and three outstanding events. The North Shore Run Series will carry on the great summer fun and fitness concept of the Albany Lakes series, but now you get to run in three locations instead of just one … how good is that?
Three Awesome Locations
The North Shore Run Series comprises three great event at three awesome locations. We kick the series off in January at Run Devonport: Navy Fields. Event base is the superb navy playing fields facility on the shores of Ngataringa Bay. The flat and fast course includes a road closure to ensure max speed and max enjoyment for all. Race Two visits one of the coolest new developments in Auckland; Hobsonville Point (OK, technically not within the old “North Shore” council boundary, but close enough!). The 5k flat course is almost totally off road with inner harbour views throughout – we know you will love it. Finally, we return to the “grand dame” of summer running. The Grand Finale will take place on the traditional and well worn course from Albany Lakes Civic Park.
Medals, Medals, Medals, Medals (4!)
Aiming to finish all three events in the North Shore Summer Series? We’ve got a special treat for you as each event in the series will award a special commemorative finisher medal for all finishers. But we said four medals right? This is where the magic happens. Complete all three events and pick up a special Series Slam medal where all of your individual event medals for the season fit inside. Awesome!
New 15k Run Option
We haven’t just added extra locations … there’s now an extra distance option. For those up for a real challenge, there is now a 15km (three lap) option at each venue. Merit awards will now extend to a 15km (runners only) series. Are you ready to take on distance max?

Important! Adult/Junior entrants only nominate 5k Run or 5k Walk. You will automatically be upgraded to the 10k or 15k on race day by our timing system based on laps completed. Important! there is no separate walking category in the 15k. If you register and start as a walker and complete 3 laps, you will be placed in the run results.

Event T-shirt
All Series Pass entrants into the North Shore Run Series will receive a fantastic dry fit tee to mark their participation. The t-shirt features the race logo with title sponsor Harcourts Cooper & Co. as well as a the race name down each side. A great shirt for running in, you’re sure to get more than a few envious stares at the gym. Your t-shirt will be included in your race pack along with your bib and timing chip. You don’t have to wear it on race day … but loads of people do!
Important! All of our t-shirts are produced months in advance of the event and quantities and sizes are strictly limited. Please register early to secure your chosen size – once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Unisex
| Small | Medium | Large | X-Large | 2X-Large | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest (cm) | 50 | 53 | 56 | 60 | 64 |
| Length (cm) | 74 | 76 | 78 | 80 | 82 |
Womens
| 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest (cm) | 45 | 47 | 49 | 51 | 54 | 57 |
| Length (cm) | 62 | 64 | 66 | 68 | 70 | 72 |
Important! Compare the chest measurement with a favourite t-shirt to be sure of your sizing. Our measurements are taken with the t-shirt laid on a flat surfaces. The length measurement is taken from the top of the neckline to the bottom of the shirt. The Chest measurement is taken from armpit to armpit.
Race Number
It is a requirement of your participation in the event that you wear your race number on the front of your shirt at all times whilst taking part. Your number should be secured to your shirt by a safety pin in each corner (if you don’t have any, come to the Registration desk on race morning). Your electronic timing tag is attached to the back of your race number so be careful not to crease, crush or puncture it.
Pimp Your Bib!
When you register, you will have the opportunity to select a nickname to print on your race number. Feel free to be creative – but please keep it clean folks! If you don’t select a nickname, your first name will be printed instead. If you prefer to fly under the radar – or you want to get creative with a sharpie – just put a full stop in the nickname field and we will leave it blank.
Important! Series Pass entrants keep their race number for ALL THREE series events. Don’t lose it! Replacement numbers are $10.
Important! All Series Pass race numbers will be sent by courier along with your event T-Shirt and other items. All single race numbers must be collected at the race venue during the pre-race or race day registration sessions.
Important! Please don’t lose your race number. Replacement numbers are $10.
Timing Tag
When you receive your race number, your electronic timing tag will be attached to the back. We are using disposable stick-on timing tags this year. We are sure you will appreciate the convenience of not having to attach a plastic tag to your shoes and then return it at the finish. All you have to remember is to secure your race number to the front of your shirt and you’re all set. Try to avoid holding your arm in front of the number as you cross the finish line (e.g. to turn off your watch) as this can sometimes affect the tag reading. Just wait until a few steps after the timing mat.
Important! There is no need to return your timing tag.
Important! Keep your race number with you when you finish as we will use it to register you in the prize draw for the Awards Ceremony – see below.
Finisher Medal
Super Slam
Your super-slam medal will be available for collection from the special collection booth after you finish the North Shore Run Series Grand Finale. Just look for signs directing you there. You must present yourself at the Super Slam collection desk and show your race number. Our friendly team will confirm your eligibility and hand over your Super-slam medal.
Important! You must have recorded a finish time – in your own full name and date of birth – in all three events in the North Shore Run Series in the current season to qualify for the super-slam. A list will be available online for you to make sure your name is on the list. If it is not, please use the contact form ASAP. Check our facebook page closer to the event for information.
IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE QUALIFICATION LIST PRIOR TO THE GRAND FINALE – YOU WILL NOT GET A SUPER SLAM MEDAL.
iTab
The iTab is a self-adhesive metal plate which is delivered direct to your home approximately three weeks after your event with your name, distance and time engraved on it. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate and immortalise your achievement. Where possible, our finisher medals have a recess on the back to fit your iTab insert.
iTabs are available for the following events:
– Tauranga Marathon
– Devonport Half Marathon
– Omaha Half Marathon
– Coatesville Half Marathon
– Maraetai Half Marathon
– Waterfront Half Marathon
– Auckland Half Marathon Series Grand Slam (will include all five of your half marathon finishing times in the series)
– North Shore Run Series Super Slam (will include all three of your finishing times in the series)
You can purchase an iTab when registering for your event. For individual events, they are $15 and for the Auckland Half Marathon Series Grand Slam and North Shore Run Series Super Slam medals, they are $19. The price includes delivery to your door. If you didn’t order one when you registered – but would like to do so now – you can do it via My tiktok up until race week. Just click on the LOGIN button at the top of the web site and follow the prompts from there.
Spot Prizes & Merit Awards
Each event in the series will conclude with a prize ceremony where we will give away thousands of dollars of spot prizes, thanks to our wonderful sponsors. Each individual series event will also include a small number of merit awards for the overall winners. The Grand Finale will also include an Awards Ceremony where we will acknowledge some of the excellent performances across the series, as well as crowning the latest group of Shore Legends.
Spot Prizes
We have many wonderful spot prizes to give away including vouchers for Brooks shoes and Garmin Forerunner GPS sports watches. The grand prize is a big screen TV. Remember – you must be present at the prize giving to claim your prize. Only those who scan their timing tags at the spot prize timing point will be eligible to win a prize. The prize draw timing point will be activated approximately 15-20 minutes before the ceremony – listen out for announcements. All you have to do is walk across the timing mat with your race number and you will be registered in the draw. Easy as!
Important! In the event of inclement weather, we may elect to cancel the Awards Ceremony. Listen out for announcements on the PA or check out our Facebook page. If this does happen, all prize winners will be announced on our Facebook page and prizes will be couriered out to them.

As a reward for our most loyal, most tenacious and most consistent runners and walkers, each year Running Events induct a new class into the North Shore Run Series – Shore Legends group.
Qualification: Everyone who records a finish time in all three events in the same North Shore Run Series (or previously Albany Lakes Summer Series) season scores one Shore Legend point. When you have five points – or five 100% completed seasons (they do not need to be sequential) – you will be inducted into the hallowed halls of the Shore Legends!
This is not an award that only the elite or naturally gifted can achieve. This is a goal that is truly open to all. It merely requires the dogged determination, tenacity – and good fortune – to be able to consistently finish race after race despite illness, injury, scheduling conflicts, holidays, car breakdowns, sleep-ins and any other challenge that life may throw at you.
On the day you qualify, we will call you and your fellow legends up onto the stage at our special induction ceremony. As your reward for reaching this formidable goal, each Legend is awarded their own commemorative glass trophy and individual legend number. It is a suitable mark for a laudable achievement and your place in this bastion of greatness will be duly recorded below for all to see and admire in perpetuity!
See below under “Past Events” for a full list of the current Shore Legends and our next prospective intake.
Information For Walkers
Running Events welcome walkers in all of our events, irrespective of the distance. Walkers routinely make up around 15-20% of the total field. We take the needs of our walkers seriously and have made changes to how our events operate to allow walkers to be appropriately recognised and accommodated. The notes here will help you, as a walker, to get the most from the event and help familiarise you with our setup for walkers.
Important! In the spirit of fair competition, we ask that all competitors adhere strictly to the rules. Competitive Walkers must not run or jog at any time during the event and must maintain contact with the ground at all times.
Should I register in the Walk?
If you plan to walk most of the way but want to have the option to jog or run at any point, you should select the RUN entry category. If you intend to walk throughout the event and want to measure yourself against other walkers, you should choose the Competitive Walk option.
Important! The walking competition is limited to the 5k and 10k races only. If you are registered as a walker and complete the 15k distance, you will be moved into the run category.
Are There Prizes?
Please see the Merit Awards section for details of prizes. To be eligible for awards, walkers must enter in the competitive Walk category, start on the Walk start signal and must only walk during the event.
How Is the Walking Competition Judged?
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide walking judges for our events. Therefore, we rely upon the integrity of those taking part to adhere to the rules of the walking competition and not run or jog at any time. In our experience over the years, we have found that the most common error in the walking competition is where people register as a competitive walker but decide to run on race day. We have worked around this issue by having a dedicated race start for walkers wherever there are Competitive Walk merit prizes at stake.
Important! We do not make judgement calls on disqualifications based on reports from other competitors. Unless advised otherwise by the competitor in question, we trust the integrity of our competitive walkers. In all cases, the Race Director’s decision shall be final.
Event Safety
It is compulsory for all participants to attend, listen to and heed the advice of the safety briefing. Above all else, however, please understand that no roads are closed during the event. You have sole responsibility for your own safety. Do not leave any pavement, cross any road, pass any driveway unless you deem it is safe for you to do so.
Please remind your own spectators that they should not attempt to accompany you in vehicles, bikes or otherwise. They must follow the normal rules of the road to reach vantage points.
Important! A copy of the approved Health & Safety plan is available from Running Events on request.
Course Safety
Remember that other a very small area near the start and finish of the event, all roads are open to the public at all times. Stick to the pavement where one exists and do not cross any intersection unless you have determined to your own satisfaction that it is safe to do so.
Please remember the golden rule … Always give way to vehicles. No matter who has right of way, vehicles always win.
Series Events
These are the spots the cool kids will be running and walking this summer.
Run Devonport: 19 Jan 2020
Harcourts Cooper & Co Run Devonport … your chance to run or walk on closed roads in beautiful, historic Devonport. Run Devonport features a 5km loop course for adults with views of Ngataringa Bay and the Harbour Bridge. The course is flat and fast and distance options are 5k, 10k or 15k for runners and 5k or 10k for walkers. A shorter 2km course is available for the kids. Every finisher of Run Devonport receives a beautiful commemorative finisher medal.
Run The Point: 23 Feb 2020
Catalina Bay at Hobsonville Point is one of the coolest new developments in greater Auckland … and we’re going to be running right in the middle of it. This course is a stunner with a mix of boardwalk, gravel and concrete utility trail that is virtually traffic free. A great place to score a new PB and then maybe kick back and enjoy a beer at Little Creatures fabulous outlet next to the ferry terminal. Do not miss this one!
Run Albany: 22 Mar 2020
If the team at Running Events have a “spiritual home” it is Albany Lakes Civic Park. Having produced almost thirty events here over the last decade, we know every blade of grass, every turn and the exact location of every km mark! Whilst we will only be visiting this magnificent location once per year in future, we’re going to make it count as Albany will continue to host the series Grand Finale. Scores will be settled, champions will be crowned; legends will be inaugurated. Do not miss this one … and don’t forget to collect your “Series Slam” medal if you are hardy enough to have finished all three events in the series in a single season!

Our MyLaps disposable timing tags are small stickers that can be found on the back of your race number. The tag sends out a unique UHF signal that identifies you and records the exact time at which you passed the detection mats. The tags are designed to withstand rain, sweat and normal wear-and-tear – but please don’t fold or bend the bib as this can damage it. All you need to do to make sure your result is properly recorded is to wear your race number on the front of your shirt throughout the event. The tag is disposable – you do not need to return it after the event.
Important! Keep hold of your race number after you finish. You will need it to register for the prize draw at the Awards Ceremony. Listen out for announcements.
Of course! We love walkers and all of our events are open to runners, joggers and walkers alike. Many of our events offer specific merit prizes, start times and rules for competitive walkers. Please check the event web site and you will find this information on the “Walkers” tab.
