Cathay Pacific Events
4 Apr 2012
The Cathay Pacific 11km and Half marathon is a long standing running and walking event that has been a feature of the Auckland waterfront since the 1980's. I remember running the half marathon when it started from the (former) Hyatt Hotel and finished at the downtown end of Queen Street.
Over the years is has changed sponsors, with Cathay Pacific Airlines, Barfoot and Thompson Real Estate and Asics being major supporters. The event is organised and superbly managed by the Calliope Athletics and Harrier Club, who have refined and changed the route to allow both distances to be run simultaneously without undue disruption to each other.
