Aotearoa Trail Running Hub
Blazing Hills is a new trail run/walk event hosted on private property in the heart of the Waimarino.
Take the opportunity to experience trails on the vast hill country, which is varied, scenic and has hills that just keep on coming!
Expect hills! All our courses are designed to challenge the quads, except for the 3km trail, which is designed for all age groups and abilities who just want to get out and have fun! These special places are only open for this event – and take you off the beaten track across private farmland.
With a range of four distances to choose from 3kms – 20.5kms, choose the event to suit you!
We’ve got camping, après race beverages and food, games for the kids and so much more – so make a day of it!
Our focus is to host an event that is utterly amazing, where people can enjoy themselves and connect through the great outdoors. It is an opportunity for us to collaborate and give back to our rural community.
