Experience the rivers, swing bridges, tunnels, and waterfalls in this stunning trail running and walking event for all ages and abilities.
With flat and fast riverside trails, glorious climbs up Mt Karangahake and pristine native bush, few locations can compete with the Karangahake Gorge for drama, intrigue, and natural beauty. Immerse yourself in the area's rich heritage as you run through old railway tunnels and past fascinating relics from the gold mining age. This is surely some of the best off-road running in the country!
