The XTERRA Wellington event takes full advantage of the rugged coastal terrain of the Kāpiti Coast, providing a challenging and scenic experience for participants. The race features a series of trail runs that traverse varying distances, catering to both casual walkers and more seasoned marathoners. Each course is designed to highlight the natural beauty of the area, linking beachfronts with mountain trails, and offering expansive views of the west coast.

In addition to the running events, XTERRA Wellington includes triathlon and duathlon options, with both solo and relay categories available. These multi-discipline races combine swimming, mountain biking, and running, challenging athletes to tackle the diverse and tough landscape. The event encapsulates a no-frills, authentic outdoor adventure spirit typical of New Zealand’s outdoor sports scene.

Community involvement and local hospitality are evident, with a focus on simple, direct engagement rather than elaborate setups. This approach ensures a welcoming atmosphere that resonates with the down-to-earth character of the region and its people.
