22km Trail Run/Walk - SOLD OUT

We are picking big numbers for this one, this event is jam packed with goodness! I kid you not; this section of the Waikato River Trails sure is some of the best! Starting at the historic river side town of Mangakino you will be straight into the trails.

The 12km from Mangakino to Whakamaru Dam is a highlight of the day. You will enjoy the rolling gravel track as you hammer it through pockets of bush and across a number of sparkly new swing bridges with farm land and friendly cows to your right and constant views of Lake Maraetai to your left - stunning!

Crossing your last dam of the day, Whakamaru Dam, you will be straight back into quality trail! Now following Lake Whakamaru you cling to the bank, as the track winds its way east through a beautiful strip of native bush wedged between Ongaroto Road and the lake. The bush opens and you cruise through some spectacular lake side reserves for the last couple of km's before you finish at the truly magic Whakamaru Christian Camp, situated on its own Island surrounded by the clear waters of Lake Whakamaru.

Children aged 14 and under are not able to participate in these events without prior approval.
