The race
Set in the scenic hills between Tauranga and Rotorua, this event features courses that traverse the TECT Park’s extensive network of woodland trails. Participants can expect a variety of terrain, including wider paths and more narrow, twisting forest routes. The longer course includes three shallow stream crossings, adding an adventurous element to the experience. The atmosphere is enhanced by the natural beauty of the surrounding forest, and the community aspect is reflected in the participation from local runners and families. The event is part of a series, promoting a culture of outdoor activity and wellness.
