 Action-packed professional football |
17 Beasley Avenue Penrose Auckland 1006 New Zealand +64 9 526 0888 http://www.warriors.co.nz/ |
Since they joined the Australian National Rugby League competition in 1995, New Zealand's only team in the event has promised much, but is experiencing a long hard slog to the top! Last season they made it to the final "Top 8" for the first time. When the Warriors do click, the quality of play is exceptional. A loyal following turns out regularly at Ericsson Stadium, to cheer them on. Look for tickets between March and October. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Only 26.4 miles to run |
Victoria Park (finish) Auckland 1309 New Zealand +64 (0)9 570 2222 http://www.aucklandmarathon.co.nz |
This annual marathon and half-marathon event now gives entrants the opportunity to run from Devonport over the Auckland Harbour Bridge. That is worth entering for in itself. There is also a wheelchair half-marathon which starts at 7.45am the same day. Running this kind of distance is a challenge for anyone; many people train for years just to say they have run a marathon. So why not do it in a city like Auckland, with a beautiful harbour?

Friendly Local Festival |
Grey Lynn Park, Williamson Ave Grey Lynn Auckland 1002 New Zealand +1 64 09 376 0473 http://www.greylynnparkfestiva... |
For some years now the Grey Lynn Park Festival has been lauded as one of the best in Auckland. It has music, food, shopping, and some of the best ethnic representation you will find in the inner city. It takes place in spacious Grey Lynn Park and has music from local bands and Polynesian choirs until late, as well as smaller stages with dance and solo performances. Remember to take some cash, the shopping stalls are renowned for their eclecticism and style. Review © 2007, Wcities |
