Take5 2026 Sign Up Sheet

The idea is simple: To collaboratively walk the entire Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland section of Te Araroa over nine days in September (5-13 September 2026). Note, this is based on the v45 series of maps.

Hike your 5km stretch in any way you like/can. It may be you start at one end and get transport out from the other end or possibly need to hike it in both directions. Depending on where easy road access is, you may need to start in the middle of your 5km section, go to one end, turn around and walk to the other end, before turning again to return to where you started. So, you could end up hiking in just one direction or in both. Some sections are not exactly 5 kms due to map changes, or access points.

On completion, could you please:

1. Post a picture of yourself walking on the Te Aararoa Facebook page with the hashtag #TAKE5.
2. Complete a brief Google form telling us about your experience, along with any feedback. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/vZGJKKVsuQ
3. If you have any photos of potential improvements, please email them to auckland@teararoa.org.nz

Many thanks
