Map - Inner city canter

The 10 kilometre Inner City canter is the perfect way to experience the diversity of life in inner city Auckland. Begin this run in the Auckland Domain, then head west along the colourful Karangahape and Ponsonby Roads. After a jog through Western Park, one of Auckland's oldest parks, you head towards Victoria Park and then along the promenade in the Viaduct Harbour in downtown Auckland. The seafront leg along Tamaki Drive takes you to a footbridge that passes over Tamaki Drive to Auckland's only outdoor saltwater pool. The path then winds up the side of a cliff. This is an ideal place for a breather overlooking the beautiful Waitemata Harbour. After running through Point Resolution Park and along tree lined streets dotted with historic houses and churches, this run concludes back at the Auckland Domain.
