21kms through the Whakarewarewa Forest summiting the Peaks of Kohaturoa (Pohaturoa) and Titokorangi and includes a climb on to the slopes of Moerangi hill. This event provides a challenge for avid runners and an opportunity to gain experience in long distance off-road running for those new to the sport.

 

This challenge will test avid road runners with its mixed surfaces and undulating terrain and push seasoned off-road athletes to chase down the clock and each other with a max slope rating of approximately 50%. This is also an excellent build up for the Tarawera 50km Ultra event.
