Auckland
The unique event, held every four years, will take place at Auckland Grammar from April 12-16 as part of the School’s 150 year celebrations and giving back programme. It will involve present students, Old Boys, past/present staff members and high profile community and sporting personalities. It involves a group of Auckland Grammar students attempt to run 1000 miles in less than 100 hours.
It is done in three shifts per 24 hours, with the juniors running during the day, the intermediates running until midnight and the seniors shift being from midnight to 8am each day. The course is a 1km circuit around the School's grounds.
This year, all funds raised from the event will go to The Key to Life charitable trust, run by Mike King, the 2019 New Zealander of the Year. The Key to Life Charitable Trust aims to forever change the way New Zealanders think, act and feel about mental health and mental well-being.

LAST UPDATE 16 April 2019
1000 miles was successfully completed in under 100 hours, while also running a pb of the event in 2.59 this afternoon (total of 19 laps including group lap to finish the 100 hours off). This was such a special AGS 1000 Miler as it fell under the 150th year of the school and is part of the giving back programme. The charity, The Key to Life Charitable Trust, is a worthy recipient of the money raised as it supports a significant and important aspect in today's society. It has been a tough 4 days but has been worth every minute as we overcame challenges and new memories and friendships were formed. I would like to thank everyone who has donated over the past couple of weeks and supported me in this tough event. Every single donation and message of support has importantly contributed to the overall event and purpose. I am extremely grateful for every donation I have received in support of this event and charity.
