Introduction | Hi, my name is Amanda and I'm keeping this blog to find and share the locations of awesome off-road/trail runs in Auckland and beyond. My goal is to do one run a week and post an entry about it. Most runs will be based in and around Auckland, but I'll also include some from further afield if I happen to be out of town. I've been a runner for nearly 10 years, and discovered off-road events after returning in 2007 from an overseas stint in Japan. I decided to start this blog because I often find it difficult to get running-specific information about off-road locations. In my day job I am a Technical Writer for an IT company, and I enjoy the process of creating easily understandable ways of communicating technical information. I hope all runners and casual readers find this blog a useful resource and I welcome your feedback! |
