A great coastal run along the gravel shared use Tuhawaiki trail between Scarborough Rd and Ellis Rd, a few good climbs and descents get the heart pumping. Real close to the city and a great beginners addition to the Timaru trails.

Great coastal views, ships coming and going, a lighthouse, and a chance of penguins!
