Race headquarters are at the Auckland Domain Grandstand. Arrive early. Parking is usually good all around the Domain. Collect your race bib from the registration desk.

We have many spot prizes to be given out on the day, and plan to hold prize giving for our winners and the major spot prizes at 11:00am.

We look forward to seeing you all out on the course!
