Battle at Boulder Hill

The long course gives you the full Boulder Hill experience with a gradual climb to kick things off up through the Belmont bush before joining the Kilmister track and starting the real climbing. Follow this track all the way up the hill, across farmland and open hillside before cresting the hill to 360 views of the Wellington region. Then enjoy some cruisey downhill tracks with one more little climb to make sure the legs are properly cooked before rejoining the original track back into the Recreation Reserve.

The medium heads up the hill the same way, with a gradual climb to kick things off up through the Belmont bush, before breaking out on to open hillside with epic views of Belmont’s rolling ridgelines. Then enjoy some cruisey downhill tracks with one more little climb to make sure the legs are properly cooked before rejoining the original track back into the Recreation Reserve.

This short course on the Boulder Hill trails packs a solid punch of climbing into a relatively compact loop, taking you through lush native bush and open ridgelines with sweeping views. Expect a mix of steady climbs, rewarding descents, and classic Wellington terrain. Rugged, scenic, and just the right amount of challenging.
