Trail Challenge Waihi

The Trail Challenge Waihi is scheduled for 7 December 2024, taking place in the scenic Karangahake Gorge in Waikato. This annual trail running event marks the conclusion of the Auckland Trail Run/Walk series, which spans from May to September and features various off-road routes across the greater Auckland region.

Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome to engage with the natural terrain, which offers a mix of rugged trails and stunning landscapes, characteristic of the gorge’s rich environment. The event promotes an eco-friendly approach by being a cup-free race, encouraging runners to bring their own cups or water bottles for hydration at aid stations.

The Trail Challenge Waihi not only emphasizes community participation but also highlights the importance of sustainability in outdoor events. While there are various race options available for different skill levels, the focus remains on enjoying the unique experience of trail running in a historic and picturesque setting. Post-race amenities and activities have not been specified, but participants can expect a well-organized event.
