The Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon & Trail Runs will be held on the 14 and 15 February 2025 – you will be able to experience the challenging and diverse terrain of Ben Lomond Station near Queenstown.
Starting beside the famous Shotover River you’ll run along sheep tracks, historic gold mining water races and high country mustering routes. The scenery is forever changing as you climb and descend through tussock lands, mountain ridges, beech forest and creeks, a scree slope descent, a ladder climb beside a waterfall and even a tunnel on the valley floor.
The course finishes near picturesque Moke Lake where you’ll be able to relax and reflect on your huge personal achievement and celebrate with fellow competitors and supporters.
