Taupō Harriers Summer 5K Series 2

The Taupō Harriers Summer 5K Series offers participants a scenic evening run along the Great Lake Pathway, popularly known as the Lions Walk. The course is characterized by its flat, out-and-back loop extending from Wharewaka Point to 2 Mile Bay, providing runners with stunning views of Lake Taupō at sunset.

The series caters to both adults and children, with a separate 1.5 km event for younger participants consisting of two laps around Wharewaka Point. This shorter distance event is particularly family-friendly, encouraging participation from runners of all ages.

The atmosphere of the event is relaxed and community-focused, with the series taking place on Wednesday evenings, making it a popular mid-week activity for locals and visitors alike. The timing of the event also allows participants to enjoy the cooler evening temperatures and the peaceful twilight ambiance along the lakeshore.
