Auckland Trail Run & Walk: Waiuku

The Auckland Trail Run & Walk Series will take place on 20 July 2025 at Waiuku Forest, marking a notable event in the annual winter series organized by Trail Events NZ. This series features a variety of course options designed to showcase the diverse landscapes around Auckland, with locations typically within a one-hour drive from the city center.

Waiuku Forest offers a mixture of terrain, including trails that wind through native bush and scenic views, providing participants with an immersive outdoor experience. Unique to this event is its cupless policy, encouraging runners and walkers to bring their own reusable cups, hydration packs, or water bottles for refills, promoting sustainability.

This event is part of a larger series, with the next event scheduled for 10 August 2025 at Totara Park, and a previous event held on 29 June 2025 in the Hunua Ranges. Participants can expect a well-organized atmosphere focused on environmental consciousness and community engagement.
