Set in the historic gold mining town of Clyde, this event offers a scenic experience through Central Otago.

Runners will enjoy picturesque views along the river tracks adjacent to the Clutha River, known for its striking landscapes.

The event accommodates both runners and walkers, with specific distances available for each.
