#124 Our NZ Run Trip - Auckland Marathon + Round Mount Taranaki 100 Miler

Running is alive and well in New Zealand and this week we report on our particpation in 2 wonderful Kiwi events:

• Adidas Auckland Marathon
• Taranaki Steelformers Around The Mountain  Relay and 100 Miler

The Adidas Auckland Marathon includes the marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, 5km and kids event. With a pre-event expo and post race party this is a wonderful world class event.

The Taranaki Steelformers Around The Mountain was to be our first 100 mile event. As well as the 160km for solo runners a 150km event for relay teams is also held. With a total of more than  2,200 participants most are in the relay with 13 in the solo.

A mix of stunning scenery and a great sense of community make the Around the mountain a very special event. With Sue winning the women's solo event we had an even more wonderful experience.

Regular segments include:

• Over the shoulder
• Ask Sue
