This is a 14-week training program designed to help you prepare physically and mentally for the Auckland or Queenstown Marathon 2026, whether you're aiming for the half or full distance. Designed by Run4auckland's Leader Marvin Roux and strength coach Marwin Silerio, the program combines structured running plans, progressive strength training, and weekly community support.
It’s important to note that this program is completely independent from our Sunday sessions. Our Sunday community runs will always remain free and open to everyone, just as they have for the past five years. This new program is an optional add-on for those who want structured support, expert coaching, and a more personalized path to race day.
The training programs are managed exclusively by Marwin and Marvin. All communication, payments, training plans, and ongoing coaching will be handled directly by them.
