City insight: Mount Maunganui
Mount Maunganui is a residential, commercial and industrial suburb of Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island, located on a peninsula north-east of the city centre. It was an independent town until the Tauranga Harbour Bridge was completed in 1988, which connects it to Tauranga's central business district. The area has a mild, humid climate with warm summers and mild, wet winters, so autumn and spring are generally the best seasons for running and racing.
