A classic Barefoot XTRAIL course with a great old Woolshed by the Venue HQ. The courses take you through pine and native forest, plus a fair amount of open well formed tracks. It’s a solid run, with a bit of climbing, but worthwhile for the views.

We are absolutely stoked to be able to bring you a unique piece of running in New Zealand, maybe even the world. The great folks at Meridian have allowed us access to over 25km of trails up amongst one of the most advanced wind farms in the world.

So you thought you knew our Coastlines? Get up close and personal with Cook Straight. From the spectacular ridge top views to the rugged Coastal Track this is a day you will not forget.

McKerrow’s Revenge shows you how close Wellington is to tracks you never knew existed. You can run on high-quality trails with mix of bush, river valley and open areas or add in a solid climb up to the very best native bush.

This DOC area is absolutely pristine, with incredible native bush tracks and fantastic ridgeline views back across Wellington harbour.
