Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Marathon presented by ASICS

About
The Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Marathon presented by ASICS takes place on 1 November 2026 in Auckland, New Zealand. The programme covers four road distances, from the 5 km walk or run to the 42.2 km marathon, via the 11 km Traverse and the 21.1 km half marathon, with a wheelchair marathon completing the line-up. Start times have not yet been published.
November is spring in the southern hemisphere, so runners from the northern hemisphere will build their training through the European summer, with all the heat that entails. The choice of formats lets a group of mixed abilities take part on the same morning, each over their own distance. The 11 km, slightly longer than a 10K, is within reach of anyone who regularly runs for an hour non-stop, while the half marathon is the logical step before considering the marathon the following year.
