The Harcourts Cooper & Co North Shore Run Series kicks off amongst the sun, sea and sand of Orewa Beach, right at the top of the North Shore. The superb Te Ara Tahuna estuary walkway is a flat and fast PB-maker with wide water views throughout.
Auckland's most vibrant new suburb plays host to Race Two of the Harcourts Cooper & Co North Shore Run Series. Wide, flat utility paths follow the Hobsonville Point peninsula coast line, taking in historic Bomb Point and Catalina Bay with an inner-harbour backdrop.
Hidden away in a quiet corner of historic Devonport, the magnificent Navy Sports Fields complex at Ngataringa enjoys its own private coastal road with views to the Harbour Bridge. Flat and fast. Thanks for having us NZ Navy!
