We are back for our final pinnacle event of the year - Auckland Marathon on Sunday 1st of November!

We already have 80 confirmed Achilles NZ athletes and guides registered to participate and are hoping to have over 100 participating this year! By supporting Achilles NZ, you're not just funding an organisation; you're empowering individuals with disabilities to break barriers, challenge perceptions, improve their own well-being and achieve what many thought impossible.

Your contribution helps provide guides and opportunities for disabled athletes to participate in mainstream athletic events, fostering a sense of belonging and accomplishment that extends far beyond the finish line.

Whether it's an Achilles newcomer experiencing the joy of their first race or a seasoned athlete trying for a personal best time or participating internationally, your donation fuels dreams, builds confidence, and creates a more inclusive world for all. Our athletes will be walking, running or wheeling a mix of 5km, 10km, half marathon (21.1km) or the full marathon (42.2km) distances!

There is the opportunity for Racing Wheelchair athletes to enter the full or half marathon and we will be running Lead up Wheelie training sessions in preparation for the event! Go team!

Join us in our mission to ensure that no disability stands in the way of athletic achievement. Your generosity today can help someone take their first steps towards a life-changing goal tomorrow. Donate now and be part of the Achilles NZ success story!
