Coastal Classic MTB & Trail Run at Taieri Mouth

The Calder Stewart Coastal Classic MTB & Trail Run offers a unique opportunity to traverse privately owned farmland, showcasing a diverse terrain that includes gravel roads, farm paddocks, coastal tracks, beaches, and wetlands. Participants can choose from various trail run and walk options, catering to different fitness levels and preferences. The event also features a 5km family-friendly beach walk and a special beach race for those under 14, making it an inclusive affair for all ages.

This event is deeply integrated with the local community, as it is organized in collaboration with the Taieri Mouth Amenities Society and supported by local businesses. All profits from the event are reinvested into the Taieri Mouth community, underscoring a commitment to local development and solidarity.

The scenic courses along the coast and through pastoral landscapes not only challenge the participants physically but also provide them with the rare chance to enjoy areas not typically open to the public. This blend of natural beauty, community spirit, and exclusive access makes the Calder Stewart Coastal Classic a distinctive event in the Otago region’s running calendar.
