The run

A 6 km out-and-back from the top of Booth Road up the Pineapple Track to the summit of Flagstaff, 668 m above the city. The track climbs about 400 m through bush and then open tussock, with views widening the higher you go, and the summit looks over Dunedin, the harbour and the hills inland.

Good to know

Park at the top of Booth Road. The upper track is open tussock with no shelter, and the weather changes quickly up there. Carry water and a layer.
