Hobbie Pt - Auckland's Newest Hot Spot
There are no shortage of great running locations in the beautiful City of Sails. Even so, the coastal track that circumnavigates this fabulous newly developed suburb is something special. Over 4km of the Run the Point 5k loop is off-road on a path which features flat and well formed concrete and gravel surfaces and even some elevated boardwalk. Stunning inner-harbour views are around every corner as you pass through parks and public spaces and into the newer subdivisions.
It's a good thing Harcourts Cooper & Co are our race sponsor as you may just want to make an offer and relocate to this awesome spot after taking in the sights during Run the Point!
Run the Point - Summer Fitness Sorted
Run the Point is the perfect summer starter. Race Two of the North Shore Run Series is situated mid-October, just as the weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining and another great summer of fitness awaits in the City of Sails. In three previous editions, not a drop of rain has been felt and the sun has shone brightly throughout.
Event distances go from the "main event" 10K Classic - which takes in two laps of the coastal route - the more achievable 5k Fun Run & Walk - a single lap of the peninsula - right up to the 15k event - which means three times is a charm. For our junior athletes, the 2k Kids Dash is a straight out-and-back blast along the nearby footpath and back to the finish line.
All finishers in all events will receive an exclusive Harcourts Cooper & Co Run the Point finisher medal … a collector's item and a great token of a goal achieved!
