Recent editions start at Napier Bridge, run along the Marina and then head south down the East Coast Road. The marathon and the twenty-miler start first, in the dark, followed by the half marathon and 10K. Buses from the finish venue take runners back into the city, as the organiser has arranged, and early Metro services run to the start. Fast age-group runners can use a qualifying time here to earn entry to the Abbott World Marathon Majors age group world championships.
