Entries for this year's adidas Auckland Marathon will open on Wednesday 7th April.

Managing Director, Stephen Brown, said, "We expect the strong interest from previous years to continue. The half marathon and full marathon have sold out for the last four years and in 2009 reached capacity more than 4 months before race day."

He said that "The level of interest has been unprecedented for a major running event in New Zealand and testament to the quality of the adidas Auckland Marathon event".

The National Heart Foundation is the official charity of the 2010 adidas Auckland Marathon. All participants can become a Heart Racer and raise funds for the National Heart Foundation when they enter online creating their very own fundraising web page.

Brown added, "The Heart Foundation is great cause to be associated with and we are proud to be supporting them".

The event takes place on Sunday 31 October 2010.
