WHAT:  XTERRA Wellington Festival Trail Run

WHEN:  January 29, 2022 - POSTPONED

WHERE: Queen Elizabeth Park, Wellington, New Zealand

XTERRA Wellington is a completely unique, off-road triathlon, duathlon and trail running experience. There is no other coastal event like it in NZ or indeed the world.

The XTERRA Wellington Festival embraces the rugged coastal landscape of Kāpiti, just 50km from Wellington, New Zealand, linking the beach to the mountains in a wickedly West Coast way. 

The majority of our field will be made up of people wanting to take on the challenge and enjoy XTERRA for what it is — a family and lifestyle. There's something for everyone at every level and we welcome visitors to compete with the elites in the main event or take part purely for the enjoyment with options including the Super 6km Trail Run, 31K mountain bike race, duathlon, or sprint events.

COURSE INFORMATION

XTERRA Wellington 21km Trail Run

Starting at Whareroa Beach wind your way out of the park, under the expressway and into Whareroa Farm. Here you will find a superb trail through the beautiful Kohekohe and gum forest then up a mountain bike link track before making your way down a fantastic twisting, turning downhill and back. A few ponds and the Yankee trail brings you back to the beach. Once you get back to transition the journey is not over as you will wind your way through the dunes enjoying wonderful trails, spectacular views where the undulation takes some focus to get a rhythm you can work with.

XTERRA Wellington 14.7km Trail Run

Starting at Whareroa Beach wind your way out of the park, under the expressway and into Whareroa Farm. Here you will find a superb trail through the beautiful Kohekohe and gum forest then up a mountain bike link track before making your way down a fantastic twisting, turning downhill and back. A few ponds and the Yankee trail brings you back to the beach where glory awaits.


XTERRA Wellington 6km Trail Run

Our 6km run winds its way along the beautiful dunes of Queen Elizabeth park. Its beautiful views will make up for the undulation in this quintessentially coastal New Zealand run and that is why we love it. You will wind your way back through transition before your final 2km so can feel the buzz and the atmosphere to spur you on those last couple of K’s.
