Round The Bays Steaming Ahead Sunday
Hi East Auckland neighbours,
The Ports of Auckland Round the Bays fun run is back on this Sunday following Auckland's drop to alert level 1.
Now in its 49th year, Round the Bays is one of the biggest events to be held in New Zealand this summer.
More than 25,000 people will take part in the event that attracts participants of all ages and fitness levels ranging from professional runners to people aged in their eighties.
The event kicks off at 9.15 am in Quay St and takes in beaches along Tamaki Drive including Okahu Bay and Mission Bay.
It finishes at St Heliers.
Are you planning to take part?
If so, how are you going to play it?
Will you be a walker talker, a serious runner or dusting off the roller skates?

accommodation in Wellington
Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Wellington for work and looking for a place from 16 February 2026. I’m 22 and starting a full-time role as a young graduate professional in IT/Data Science in the CBD.
I’m tidy, respectful, quiet, non-smoker, and like keeping my space clean. Outside of work I enjoy music and photography, but I do keep things quiet at home. I don’t have a car, so good bus access or train to the CBD is important.
What I’m after:
-Prefer living alone (studio/bedsit) but open to a quiet flat too
- Easy bus access or walking distance to the CBD
- Furnished
- Close to a supermarket
- Long-term
- Budget up to $400/week
- Move in early Feb 2026 or late Jan
Just checking if you know any places
Thank you
Regards, Reuben
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
