The Takapuna Beach Series is a summer sports series staged on Tuesday evenings at Takapuna Beach on Auckland's North Shore. Each event night brings together 5km beach runs, ocean swims and standup paddle board races, so runners, swimmers and paddlers all share the same stretch of coast. The mood is deliberately relaxed and social, with the series positioned as a way to keep fit over summer, to train for something bigger, or simply to spend a warm evening at the beach with family. This listing covers the event on 10 November 2026, one date within the wider series.
