SUMMARY:XTRAIL West Wind
DESCRIPTION:We are absolutely stoked to be able to bring you a unique piece of running in New Zealand\, maybe even the world. The great folks at Meridian have allowed us access to over 25km of trails up amongst one of the most advanced wind farms in the world. High quality trails with more variety than you could ever expect\, from pine needle tracks through forest\, to coastal trails with the Cook Straight crashing on the rocks beside you\, to ridge lines with the South Island only 25 kilometers away. And finally\, and uniquely\, you’ll be running amongst 110 meter wind turbines.

SUMMARY:XTRAIL Woolshed
DESCRIPTION:Sunday – 24th May 2026 \n\n\n\nA classic Barefoot XTRAIL course with a great old Woolshed by the Venue HQ. The courses take you through pine and native forest\, plus a fair amount of open well formed tracks. It’s a solid run\, with a bit of climbing\, but worthwhile for the views. This venue is everything an XTERRA trail should be and you will love it. Parking is at a bit of a premium\, so car pool if you can.

SUMMARY:XTRAIL Red Rocks
DESCRIPTION:So you thought you knew our Coastlines? Get up close and personal with Cook Straight. From the spectacular ridge top views to the rugged Coastal Track this is a day you will not forget. A taxing climb at the start of the run sets you up for easy running (not you\, Long Course runners\, you get a second taxing climb) across the tops with uninterrupted views of Wellington Harbour in one direction and Cook Straight in the other. Later in your run you will be drinking in some salty sea air as you follow the Coastal Track nabs around the spectacular South Coast.

SUMMARY:XTRAIL Boulder Hill
DESCRIPTION:Boulder Hill offers up a classic slice of Wellington trail running – rugged\, scenic\, and deeply rewarding. Set in the Belmont Regional Park\, the courses take you through a mix of lush native bush\, open ridgelines\, and rolling farmland with epic views across the Wellington harbour\, Hutt Valley\, and out to the coast. The short course is a compact loop with punchy climbs and flowing descents\, while the long course gives you the full Boulder Hill experience — a steady climb from the valley floor to the summit\, followed by sweeping downhills and one final sting in the tail before you loop back to base. A true taste of the terrain that makes this region so special.

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!
