Windsor Reserve places you in the heart of Devonport Village, with the ferry terminal nearby and the finish close to the cafes across the road. The Devonport Half Marathon is a road-and-path race through a "historic seaside suburb," part of the Auckland Half Marathon Series, offering a local waterfront atmosphere instead of a large-city crowd.
The course follows coastal roads and waterfront paths between the village and Narrow Neck, featuring Cheltenham Beach, North Head, and "views across the Waitematā Harbour." Expect flat-to-rolling running, a mix of competitive runners, walkers, families, and younger athletes, with many participants running or walking among heritage streets and past beaches before returning to Windsor Reserve.
