In pictures: Auckland marathon runs in the wet

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

Thousands have braved wet weather conditions in Auckland on Sunday to partake in the annual Auckland Marathon.

The full marathon began on the North Shore in Devonport at 6am, and headed across the Auckland Harbour Bridge, along the beach at St Heliers Bay before ending at Victoria Park in the city.

Participants compete in the wheelchair, full, half and 11km events and are encouraged to donate to various charities.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
