• Course Features: The race begins at Awa Awa Rata Reserve, initially winding through dense native bush before transitioning to more rugged alpine terrain. The route then follows the Mt Hutt road up to the ski field car park, providing runners with expansive panoramic views. The return journey involves a descent back to the starting point.
• Terrain and Difficulty: The full ascent course is designed for advanced runners due to its significant elevation gain and technical terrain, making it a challenging and rewarding experience. For those seeking a less demanding challenge, the shorter course offers an intermediate level run that still provides a rigorous workout with its ascent and descent paths.
• Unique Aspects: The race is set in a striking natural landscape, offering participants the opportunity to experience a diverse array of environments, from lush bush to stark alpine settings. This unique mix of terrains, combined with the physical demands of the course, makes it a distinctive event in the running calendar.
