Known as one of the most demanding and rewarding events on the Aotearoa trail running calendar, the Ring Of Fire takes you on a full circumnavigation of the formidable Mount Ruapehu. It’s a true test of endurance – physically, mentally, and spiritually – with rugged alpine terrain, high altitude, and vast volcanic landscapes that will challenge and inspire every step of the way.
Runners traverse a wild mix of desert plateaus, scoria and lava fields, native bush, tussock-covered ridgelines, and clear mountain streams. The journey is tough and beautiful, with big climbs and even bigger views across one of our most treasured landscapes. Whether you’re coming to race, to explore, or to reconnect with this incredible place – welcome back to the Ring Of Fire.
The Ring of Fire is back, and you can grab 10% off either the relay, 60km or 100km ultras!
