Crater Rim Ultra Events

This popular event has taken a bold leap forward in 2021 with the addition of an 83KM Ultra Race over extinct volcanoes with stunning views of Canterbury and the Port Hills. As the official New Zealand trail running championships, it will attract our top runners as well as others who enjoy a challenging, spectacular course.  

There is a race for everyone on the day with the 1KM and 2KM Kids Dash, 10KM Rapaki Rumble, the 21KM Kiwi Challenge, 30KM Bellbird Buster and the 53KM event that features a bus and boat ride across Lyttelton Harbour.
