SUMMARY:Porirua Grand Traverse
DESCRIPTION:This 17km Mountain Run really is something special. Taking you to the highest point in the region\, it offers a taste of almost every type of running from native bush tracks\, private farm lands and hidden coastal beaches with views over Porirua\, Mana Island and Cook Strait. \n\n\n\nIt starts from HQ and runs through Porirua Scenic Reserve and over Colonial Knob into private farmland on Pikarere Station. This is the only time you’ll ever get to run on this hidden gem\, with the route taking a trot along the wild west coast before climbing back over the historic Takapuwahia skyline to finish back at HQ. \n\n\n\nWith almost 900m of climbing this run is as challenging as it is spectacular. But if you have done a half marathon then you’ll handle our Mountain Run. \n\n\n\n\n\nMountain RunFun RunDistance18km9kmVert (m)8500Gradient4.7%0%GRADIENT FACTORToughFlat

SUMMARY:ATRS - Riverhead Forest
DESCRIPTION:There is an endless and ever-changing network of trails in this pine plantation forest. Once again we can expect Riverhead to have a sufficient amount of glorious mud and clay! For the most part\, this course is on a clay surface except for the metalled road sections. We recommend wearing shoes with sufficient tread or pairing up with a buddy at the start or out on course for some of the slippery and steeper parts. It’s not by any means scary but it sometimes helps runners and walkers\, especially those new to the trails to have someone close by to lend a hand. \n\n\n\nThe mid and short courses are relatively friendly (elevation wise)\, once you head deeper into the wilderness (from the event base) there are some real lung-busters and some pretty cool views to be had at these heights. Long and Super long participants – be prepared 🙂 \n\n\n\nSuper LongLongMediumShortDistance20km17.5km14km7.5kmVert (m)580460355200Gradient2.9%2.6%2.5%2.7%GRADIENT FACTORRunnableRunnableRunnableRunnable

SUMMARY:3 Peaks Mountain Race
DESCRIPTION:Named after the three peaks of Flagstaff (668m)\, Swampy (739m) and Mt Cargill (676m)\, the 3 Peaks takes runners and walkers up some of Dunedin’s most beautiful trails through lush native bush where they are rewarded with incredible panoramic views. \n\n\n\nThe 56km 3 Peaks Plus 1 adds one of the high points of the Silverpeaks\, Pulpit Rock (760m)\, and even more amazing terrain and trail. The 55km event is also the NZ short course trail running championship. \n\n\n\nThe 3 Peaks Mountain Race starts and finishes within 4km of the city centre and yet accesses some stunningly wild and remote trails and hills. This is probably one of the most easily accessible mountain trail races in New Zealand. \n\n\n\n3 Peaks Plus 1The 3 PeaksRace the SummitDistance56km26km11kmVert (m)26001200350Gradient4.6%4.6%3.2%GRADIENT FACTORToughToughBumpy
