About the Event:

Trail run or trail triathlon? You decide! Take on the challenge with three trail run options (50km, 26km, 10km) or be part of a unique off-road triathlon (1.6km river swim / 32km mountain bike / 10km trail run). Whether you’re a pro, an amateur, or a newbie, Try Off Road Taupō caters to all skill levels.

The trail runs: Get ready for an epic trail running adventure through some of New Zealand’s most stunning landscapes! Depending on your race, you might journey alongside the iconic Waikato River, weave through lush forests and farmland, or explore geothermal wonders like the surreal Craters of the Moon. Some courses may take you past breathtaking spots such as Huka Falls, the Aratiatia Dam, and aquamarine thermal streams. Whether you’re navigating winding trails, crossing streams, or discovering hidden viewpoints, each step offers a chance to experience the natural beauty and raw energy of this unforgettable region.

The triathlon: Ready for the ultimate off-road challenge? The triathlon is designed to test your endurance, skill, and grit across three exciting disciplines. Start with a fast-paced 1.6km swim down the stunning Waikato River, then conquer a 32km bike course full of climbs, descents, and some single tracks. Finish strong with a 10km trail run through the spectacular Huka Falls/Rotary Trail loop, capped off with a stairway to the finish. If you’re looking for a triathlon that pushes your limits, this is the race for you!
