Awesome! This is definitely a race I want to try at some point in the next few years.

ah yeah this race sounds ace, and I love the background picture of this forum thread! 

Yeah amazing picture, no views like this near where I live! haha

Yeah it's a great view on the picture! Has anyone ever ran this marathon before? It looks like a good one.

I haven't ran it before but I know  friend who is. Does anyone know the route?

I found the course description in bullet points at this link: http://www.aucklandmarathon.co.nz/course-info-maps/scroll right down to the bottom - hope this helps! Are you thinking of running it Laura?

Yeah you should Laura, it looks really fun and would be a good challenge for you! I will be secretly disappointed if you don't now, just so you know.

Haha are you feeling inspired to do it now Laura?

She must be training hard as we speak

Hope you're training is going well Laura!

Haha is Laura even taking part? it seems everyone is wishing her well even though she might not be! haha

The plan is to guilt her into doing it

Haha poor Laura

What's the furthest distance she's done? 

haha I don't this will work, it's pretty far away!

Haha is anyone actually running this race at all?

Auckland is a beautiful city and any excuse to get back to the Land of the Long White cloud gets my vote.

It was actually my friend who was running it, but after all of your kind words, help and inspiration, I am going to try it for myself. Thanks guys!

Ah great stuff! good luck Laura!
