Cougar Trail Run

The Cougar Trail Run takes place at Cougar MTB Park, located just behind the Tokoroa township and approximately 50 minutes from Taupo. The event offers a selection of distances, catering to both adults and children, with options for a 2km kids’ trail run.

The courses feature rolling single-track paths that navigate through a diverse landscape, including pine forests and native bush, providing participants with a scenic experience that evolves with each turn. The trails incorporate gravel connectors, ensuring a varied running surface.

An important aspect of this event is its commitment to sustainability, operating as a cup-free event. Participants are encouraged to bring their own cups or water bottles for refilling at aid stations along the route.

The atmosphere is community-focused, with local involvement enhancing the experience, making it a well-regarded event within the Roam Free Trail Series.
