We are all set up ready for pre-race pack pick up in Te Atatu - we will be here until 3pm today.

We are set up for our first pre-race pick up of the season in Remuera!

Pre-race pack pick up options TODAY
1. 9-11am in Remuera (in the Waiatarua Reserve carpark off Abbotts Way, behind the men’s shed)
2. 1-3pm in Te Atatu (in the Harbour View Beach Reserve - note this will be our start/finish location for Te Atatu race this year as works are underway at our usual location)

These pre-race pick up opportunities are the best option for getting prepared for race day!

Series entrants who did Ambury in 2024 who didn’t take the opportunity to collect in advance will remember wind, rain, long queues and lots of pre-race stress. The best way to avoid that is to get your race pack in advance! Don’t miss the opportunity!!

FAQ Session 2 - RUN/WALK

In The Athlete's Foot Run Auckland Series, each distance has two categories: Run and Walk. (Apart from the kids dash)

If you plan to run at any stage during the event, you must enter the Run category. Participants in the Walk category are expected to walk the entire course — no running permitted.

Please also ensure you start at the correct time for your category. For example, the 5km Run starts at 8:00am, while the 5km Walk starts at 8:03am. If you are entered as a walker but start with the runners, you will be moved into the Run category.

Thanks for helping us keep the event fair, safe, and enjoyable for everyone 👟

FAQ #1 – Make-Up Races (MKR)

Can’t make one of the first 5 races? No stress — we’ve got you covered 👇

If you miss a race due to illness, holidays, or other commitments, you can complete a Make-Up Race (MKR) and still stay in the hunt for the Series Medal and trophies.

❌ No MKRs for Race 6 (final event + prizegiving)

How to qualify for an MKR:

• You must be entered in the full 6-race series

Important to know:

⏰ Deadline: Midnight, Sunday 30th August
