TRANSPORT INFORMATION

FERRY TICKETS FOR ENTRANTS

Event entrants receive a return ferry ticket from Auckland to Motutapu included in their entry fee - see entry fee information.

When registering for this event your participant ferry ticket will be automatically registered against your name and collected when you register in person for the event at the compulsory pre-event registration.


Ferry times are linked to your event entry distance - you MUST get on your specified ferry time.
It may be possible to change your ferry, depending on availability - this must be done before Wednesday 3rd April. Please email registrations@totalsport.co.nz with your request.

Your event ferry departs either Fullers Terminal, 99 Quay Street, Auckland CBD or Marine Square, Fullers Terminal in Devonport (10 minutes after the CBD depart time) on the morning of the event. Participants are able to catch a ferry from either location.

If you're intending to take your own vessel please email Julieanne@totalsport.co.nz with your vessel name and type, and you'll be provided with a code to use when entering online to remove the included return ferry ticket from your registration.
