Welcome

2022 Information Update:
With the ongoing uncertainty around Covid early in 2022, we have made the tough decision to not press on with planning an events for this year. Even with just planning the events we incur costs in doing this, and with a couple of years disruption already we are having to be careful in what we do.
We may possibly deliver an event in September depending on land access etc. We will definitely be delivering our Cape Kidnappers Trail Run in November and our Run The Vines event in February 2023.

Hawke’s Bay: Closer than you think

Just 90 minutes from Taupo gets you to some of the best weather in the country; all year round.  We have some of the best off road running locations in the country.  We definitely have some of the best food and wine in the country.  We have everything here for you to make a family weekend out. Don’t just come for the day.  Make a weekend of it.  It’s all here.  It’s all in one place.  It’s closer than you think.
