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:Lochmara Half Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The excitement in the air\, as we all queue to board the two handsome passenger catamarans at the Beachcomber wharf this November the 9th\, we will have all the anticipation of the previous 9 half marathons.  The 1 hour cruise to the start line at Anakiwa has a unique energy. As we motor out of Picton Harbour\, huddles of friends gather aboard to tell each other they haven’t done enough training\, perhaps an early excuse just in case they have a slow day\, whilst the more serious close their eyes and focus on everything they have learned in training and then rethink their race plan. It will be just a couple of hours before all will be forgotten and the beckoning Lochmara Lodge\, a swim and a relaxing drink and lunch will be front of mind.  This is your invitation to not only run this beautiful course\, but also to dust off the winter just past\, maybe loose a bit of weight and lift your fitness levels and join 199 other competitors in this the 10th anniversary Lochmara Lodge Half Marathon in 2024.  \n\n\n\nHalf MarathonDistance21kmVert (m)935Gradient4.5%GRADIENT FACTORTough
