Trail Half Marathon
A gorgeous half-marathon trail run starting and ending by the beautiful beaches of Queen Elizabeth Park.
14K Trail Run
Starting at Whareroa Beach wind your way out of the park, under the expressway and into Whareroa Farm. Here you will find a superb trail through the beautiful Kohekohe and gum forest then up a mountain bike link track before making your way down a fantastic twisting, turning downhill and back. A few ponds and the Yankee trail brings you back to the beach where glory awaits.
6K Trail Run
Our 6km run winds its way along the beautiful dunes of Queen Elizabeth park. Its beautiful views will make up for the undulation in this quintessentially coastal New Zealand run and that is why we love it. You will wind your way back through transition before your final 2km so can feel the buzz and the atmosphere to spur you on those last couple of K’s.
