Run the City!

AUCKLAND MARATHON 2022

5 KM AVOCADO

It was lit. One of the best experiences of my life!

People were so welcoming. Many were clapping for you, supporting and in the end saying congratulations! A lot of great moments in this! Rain didn’t bother us. This was my first ever marathon, I ran, jogged and walked through it. Finishing 5km distance and getting a medal for it feels so rewarding. I had a good look at the city buildings and harbour. At the end of it, I luckily bumped into a free ride, I was the only one using this, many thanks Mercury bee free ride! Safely got to Britomart train station. Amazing experience! One of my dreams was fulfilled! Woo-hoo!

AUCKLAND MARATHON 2023

11 KM TRAVERSE

At the end of it. I was proud of myself.

It was amazingly fulfilling and difficult at the same time. My friend Kristine is really keen and invited me to join months ago. I thought last year 5 km was my last as I just want to try but I am happy I tried again and this time, 11 km. My friend also had a background of marathon in Singapore doing 10 km, this was her 4th, and of course she was ahead of me by 15 mins ha-ha. Without proper training, the goal was to finish, and I did! I honestly felt I outdid myself. Because around 7 km, both my feet started to have cramps, I thought oh no. But still less than 2 hours finishing 11 km is more than enough. Wind was cold and strong especially in the Harbour bridge. At the end, I happened to bump again by mercury bee, a free ride! More comfort going to bus station and to home. Overall great experience.
