As the largest area of native forest in Auckland the Hunua Ranges boast an outstanding selection of glorious singletrack, stunning bush, fast gravel trails and even a stream crossing or two to keep it interesting! Tucked in the breathtaking heart of this forest you’ll forget you are anywhere near the big city

While the Short and the Mid are an absolute delight for all levels of ability, the longer courses in this location are unashamedly tough! Technical sections and some serious climbing that will give pure joy to those of you that love the challenge!

The Auckland XTERRA Series is a series of 6 trail running/walking events within an hour of the Auckland CBD. This series is for anyone who likes to keep fit and be held accountable over the winter months and is all about getting you onto the best trails. You can choose to come along to 1 event, 6 events or any number in between – whatever works for you!

Each Auckland XTERRA Series event offers four distance options:

• Short (5 - 8km) Run or Walk

• Mid (10 - 14km) Run or Walk

• Long (16 - 20km) Run Only

• Super Long (20km+) Run Only

There's always some challenging but achievable terrain to tame while you're out there, and there will ALWAYS be a cold Speight’s and a hot sausage (including veggie) for you when you get to the finish!
