SUMMARY:Tip Track Marathon
DESCRIPTION:FacebookWebsite\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip Track Marathon (TTM) is a low-key\, no frills trail running race that takes place at the Tip Track in Wellington each year. TTM is all about hard hills\, high-fives\, and doing something stupid for the sake of it. There are no prizes. Your workmates will not understand why you did this. It’s not even that fun. \nTip Track Marathon is an out-and-back\, out-and-back\, out-and-back\, out-and-back\, out-and-back\, out-and-back type course that has proven popular with participants. Each of the six laps is slightly over 7km\, with around 400m in elevation (2500m in total). Try not to trip on a loose rock while taking in the aromatic smells emanating from the tip and ignore the gale-force northerly. \nFor those who hate themselves but not enough to do the marathon\, there is also the Te Kopahou Thousand (TKT) race. The TKT is a horrible yet picturesque trot involving the Tip Track\, Spooky Gully\, Waipapa Loop and Hawkins Hill. It is 12km long and\, as the name suggests\, involves a thousand meters of elevation. \n\n\n\nTip Track MarathonTip Track HalfDistance42km21kmVert (m)26001300Gradient6.2%6.2%GRADIENT FACTORHarshHarsh

SUMMARY:MASH Backyard Ultra
DESCRIPTION:The M*A*S*H Backyard Ultra takes up refuge at Queen Elizabeth Park on the Kapiti Coast over Wellington Anniversary weekend. Encampment will materialise in the paddock next to the Ramaroa Centre\, Mackays Crossing – an easy 35 min drive / 45 km north of Wellington City.  \n\n\n\nDeriving its name from the 1970’s TV series M*A*S*H (a war comedy centred around a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital)\, the M*A*S*H Backyard Ultra aka Mobile Athlete’s Seaside Haven pays homage to the young U.S. marines that encamped at QEP to defend Aotearoa between 1942 and 1944. M*A*S*H has partnered with the local\, not-for-profit Kapiti U.S. Marines Trust\, to help keep this significant WWII story alive. Funds raised through the event will aid the restoration of on-site exhibits.   \n\n\n\nIf you’re new to Backyard Ultra – the format is simple. Complete a Yard (a 6.71km course)\, within the hour\, every hour\, otherwise you’re out. The winner is the ‘soldier’ who completes one more Yard than everyone else. Whether you’re an experienced ultra-runner or just looking to complete a few Yards\, all targets are welcome! \n\n\n\nThe M*A*S*H course flows across paddocks\, beside the coast\, along the historic Yankee Trail\, down ex-farm tracks\, around wetlands\, amongst kahikatea forest remnants\, past historical landmarks and has approx. 60m of elevation. You can find out more about Queen Elizabeth Park HERE. \n\n\n\nATTENTION! ‘Soldiers’ must be self-sufficient i.e. bring your own shelter\, food\, hydration and any other gear you need to keep lapping. \n\n\n\nSpots are limited\, so enlist quickly!
