Saturday Social Run: 9am - Tamaki Dr, Mechanics Bay
Details
Three weeks to go till Auckland Marathon weekend. So this is a key one …
We'll be meeting just before 9am at Teal Park and running about 9:05am. The first loop we'll do is the 12k Orakei/Hobson Bay figure-of-eight which has beautiful waterside trails. View the trail map here: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/551053300/
The hills of this simulate the North Shore and Harbour Bridge quite well and then we'll hit the flat of Tamaki Drive.
From here it's 3.5k west to Victoria Park (following the final stages of the marathon) and then 7.5k from there back to Teal Park (via Silo Park). Makes 19.5k for the full loop.
For those after more mileage, carry on east towards St Helliers. You may even like to do a tempo run for part of this final part of the long run (ideal for marathon runners).
One loop of Hobson Bay = 9k
Hobson Bay + Orakei Basin (figure-of-eight) = 12k
Hobson + Orakei + Vic Park = 19.5k
Once again, we'll have plenty of people running all sorts of paces and distances. So come along and bring a friend or three! :)
See you then.
