Come out with your friends and enjoy some great off road running in some of Hawkes Bay's most iconic locations.  

Four events during the winter months to keep your training exciting and you energised.

Four very different locations offering four very different events for runners and fast walkers.    

Three different courses, one for every runner or fast walker: 

Short       5 -10 km,

Medium  10-15 km,

Long        Half Marathon

Note well.  Off road running is not like road running.  You need to be prepared for hills, rocky tracks, some more hills, muddy tracks, a few more hills, rocky tracks, hilly tracks, sand and stunning views from hill tops. Not all courses are hilly, but some are definitely more hilly than others. But that is what makes this series a challenge.  If you have never run off road before, you may be better off going for a course shorter than you think you can run; do medium instead of long, short instead of medium.  We will be reasonable with setting the courses.  They will be challenging.  They will be achievable. They will make you glow.  But you need to be putting in some time on the trails between now and the start.
