All events follow the famous Waiatarua routes (set in the Waitakere Ranges in West Auckland ) previously used by Arthur Lydiard to train his prodigies - elite athletes such as Sir Peter Snell and Sir Murray Halberg, among others such as the Arch Jelley-trained Sir John Walker.

Arthur’s training courses are now world-renowned and countless elite and not-so-elite athletes from many parts of the world have used them, and still do, as a key element of their training regimes and schedules.
The focus of The Legend event is to celebrate, enjoy and experience the Lydiard training route within a structured race environment. Since Arthur's death in December 2004, the event has grown from a 35km run to a full marathon, half marathon and 10km run/walk.

Anticipated entry numbers – 800
