Gaz Brown's extensive background in sports began with triathlon at a young age, where he represented his age group and qualified for world championships. He transitioned into Personal Training in 2004. Notably, in 2007, he coached Kerre Woodham, a prominent TV and Radio personality, for her first marathon. Their collaboration led to the co-authorship of two best-selling New Zealand sports books: "Short Fat Chick to Marathon Runner" and "Short Fat Chick to Paris," both of which are still in print to this day!

Subsequently, Gaz founded GetRunning. A company that has been offering Auckland run coaching, a central Auckland run club, and international marathon tour packages for the past 17 years. Through GetRunning, Gaz has guided runners to the six Major Marathons worldwide, establishing himself as New Zealand’s premier tour guide. His expertise has granted him guaranteed access to limited entries into the Abbott Marathon Majors, making his tours the premium choice and distinguishing him and his tours as arguably the top tours throughout New Zealand.

With an amazing team around Gaz—Dobbo, Leanne, and Jono—they now strive to bring running to Auckland City as the official Training Partner for the Auckland Marathon. Additionally, they provide remote support, offering a depth of knowledge to runners starting out, aiming for personal bests, and running marathons domestically and internationally like no other.

GetRunning has now entered the world of retail with “The Running Store”. Their vision is a complete offering just for runners. Amazing service because we know how runners work. When you decide you want Garmin, you want it now! So we have stock available for you to pop in and purchase, or we ship overnight!
