27 first-timers finish Auckland Marathon!

We had 25 first-timers running the Auckland Marathon, and two first-timers running the Auckland Half Marathon. All 27 finished!

We're pleased to continue our tradition of never once failing to get a new member across the finish line of their first marathon. And we've been going since 1977 so that's quite an achievement!
