The race
About this course
The event features scenic and well-maintained single track trails that run alongside the Upper Clutha River and the lakefront, providing a picturesque backdrop for participants. Each course is designed as a point-to-point route, with starting points in different locations: the longer routes commence from Dublin Bay, while the shorter option begins at Hikūwai Conservation Area.
Participants will complete their runs at the event hub, located by the lakefront in Wānaka, where a vibrant atmosphere often fosters community engagement and support. Logistic arrangements include mandatory bus transport from the hub to the respective start lines, ensuring smooth transit for all racers.
In an effort to promote sustainability, the event is cup-free, encouraging participants to carry their own reusable cups or water bottles for refilling at designated aid stations along the course.
