Western coast tracks

Duration: approximately 1 hour
Distance: 10 kilometres

Starting at Victoria Park, an inner city sportspark surrounded by large, mature trees, this run takes you past St Marys Bay and the Westhaven Marina. Pause to take in the views of the sparkling Waitemata Harbour as you pass underneath the Harbour Bridge.

Making your way along to Cox's Bay, follow the path through Coxs Bay Reserve and along the boardwalk to Richmond Road. Entering Grey Lynn Park from the Farrar Street entrance, it is a pleasant jog to the Williamson Avenue exit. Then it is an easy home stretch back along busy Ponsonby Road to the tranquillity of Victoria Park for a well deserved rest.

This is also a shorter version of this run. After running along Marine Parade, you turn into Jervois Road, finishing with an easy downhill back to Victoria Park.
