Mid Trail Course
Scenic 11K trail run course with switchbacks, uneven terrain, and steady climbs
Close
There’s a nice 400m stretch of open paddock to begin with, which will allow you to jostle for position before hitting the sweet single track. Many of these trails have been sculpted with mountain bikes in mind. That means bermed corners (which are wicked fun) and fast rolling sections, guaranteed to suit the speedsters. The first few kms are undulating single track through open farmland, followed by a stunning trail that descends through the bush – with sea views in the mix. A steady climb back up to a carpark and you’re rewarded with close to 360 degree views at the top. Here you can see Pakihi Is, Ponui Is & Waiheke Island. You’ll also see where you’re heading next – down, all the way down to the ocean. Enjoy that fast downhill cause she’s a steep, slow climb back to the top but well worth the effort as you drop down the other side with picturesque views across to Kawakawa Bay - which is right next door by the way.

Why is it more expensive to enter On The Day of the event?

It makes it challenging for us logistically when participant numbers are unknown, which is the reason many events don’t allow any late entries on the day. It costs us more to process manual entries, both in house and for our timing team, and we incur additional costs for having to allow “extras” of items such as race bibs + timing chips, catering etc for those additional unknown numbers.
We understand not everyone wants to commit their time too far in advance, so registrations are open online until 10am on the Friday before each event. This should give you plenty of time to sign up online once you’ve decided what to do with your weekend!

RULES & INFO

The information below may be from a previous edition of the event, and is subject to change.

COURSE SAFETY

We recommend running with a Hydration back pack loaded with 500ml - 1 litre of liquid, and other nutritional nibbles. You can expect to be away from base for a decent period of time at these events, and we can't always get aid stations to the points where you may expect them to be.

While event medics will be at each event (they will be stationed at the event base, start / finish point) and participants may encounter on course marshals with first aid on them, it also pays to be safety conscious and carry items like:

  • a basic first aid kit

  • a cell phone

  • a whistle

  • additional warm clothing

Should you come across an injured participant, stop and apply first aid if you are trained. Send the next participant through to the next marshal or course crew location (or back if you had recently past one) and notify them of the participants; race number, name, location and description of incident.

Drink Stations:

4km, 7.8km & 10.5km (with water, R-Line electrolyte drink, potato chips, pretzels & lollies)

*Please remember your own cup/bottle/hydration pack as there will be no disposable cups provided at drink stations

Toughness Factor: 5/10

If you happen to become lost or disoriented on course, stop and remain calm before retracing your steps to the last know course marking. If you still cannot find the course marking, stop and put on your additional warm clothing and blow your whistle.

It's all about personal responsibility!
