Auckland Trail Run & Walk: Riverhead Forest

The Auckland Trail Run & Walk Series at Riverhead Forest is scheduled for 31 August 2025. This event is part of an annual winter series managed by Trail Events NZ, featuring a variety of course options that highlight the natural beauty of the Auckland region. Riverhead Forest offers a mix of terrain, including native bush and scenic trails, providing participants with an immersive outdoor experience.

The race series typically features multiple course lengths, accommodating a range of abilities and preferences. Each location is conveniently situated within a one-hour drive from central Auckland, making it accessible for local participants.

A distinctive aspect of this event is its cupless policy, encouraging participants to bring their own reusable cups, hydration packs, or water bottles for refilling during the race. This initiative promotes sustainability and reduces waste.
