Blazing Hills Trail Run/Walk & OCR

The Blazing Hills trail run/walk event is set to take place on 8 March 2025, staged on private farmland in the Waimarino’s heart. The event provides participants with an opportunity to traverse the extensive hill country’s trails, offering scenic views and a varied landscape characterized by continuous hills. The courses are designed to test participants’ endurance, with one trail specifically intended to accommodate all age groups and abilities.

In 2025, the event will see the inclusion of Obstacle Course Races, with several courses and a Kids Challenge. This addition allows participants to navigate different, specially designed courses with varying obstacles, including a team race option.

This event presents a unique opportunity for runners and walkers to explore previously uncharted territory and terrain on trails less traveled in a truly authentic New Zealand landscape.
