The woman who went missing in Auckland's Hunua Ranges last night has been found.

Police search and rescue teams have been scouring the area since 1am this morning.

She'd failed to return home after a run with her dog last night

Sergeant Ollie Nation said the 20-year-old did absolutely everything right, and they're extremely pleased with the outcome.

"Once she discovered she couldn't go on any further in darkness, she stayed put," he said.
