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.

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.

Imagine picking your way through bush-clad trails with hundreds of other bobbing head torches, all under a starlit sky.

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.

Set in the Belmont Regional Park, the courses take you through a mix of lush native bush, open ridgelines, and rolling farmland with epic views across the Wellington harbour, Hutt Valley, and out to the coast.

Starting from Spicers Botanical Park, both courses wind their way up through the peaceful, green trails of Spicers Forest before breaking into the rugged beauty of the Colonial Knob Reserve.

Both courses begin in the lush surroundings of Otari-Wilton’s Bush, New Zealand’s only native botanic garden, and wind their way up to the summit of Johnston Hill.

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

Barefoot XTRAIL's newest addition takes us to the incredible Wainuomata Mountain Bike park for our first day run based here. Surrounded in lush bush, high peaks and stunning views you will enjoy fantastic running underfoot through some of Wellington’s best bush.

There’s nothing quite like trail running in the dark! Makara Peak has a fantastic network of trails with great under foot conditions and high quality trails making it an ideal location for Barefoot XTRAIL night running.
