Welcome

 Event Cancellations
Well we said that things could change and unfortunately they have. Yesterday there was an upswing in the number of Covid-19 cases in NZ and it is likely in the weeks ahead that we will see more.
As a result we have cancelled the events scheduled for April and May. We will review the events planned for June and August nearer the time.
We will work with our registration company to get refunds processed as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your support. Like everyone else we are pretty sad right now, but keep on running the trails where you can and we look forward to seeing you out there again soon.
And if you have any questions, please email or message us.

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.

You will need to read through the event information page for your own safety to make sure you are ready to have some great off road fun.

We’re capping entries this year for individuals as we are running out of space to park cars and we don’t want too many people on the trails. Please make every effort to carpool whenever you can.
