XTERRA Trail Challenge Waihi

The XTerra Trail Challenge Waihi is a trail running/walking event in the historic Karangahake Gorge which has a myriad of old tramping, rail and tramway tracks completely surrounded in native bush, where some of the best off-road trails around the country call home.

The XTerra Trail Challenge is the culmination of the popular XTerra Auckland Trail Run / Walk series, a series of 6 events that have been held May - Sep this year in some of the best off-road locations in and around the greater Auckland region. The XTerra Trail Challenge Waihi is open to off-road and trail enthusiasts of all ages, abilities, regardless if you’re tall, short, young, wise, a rabbit or a tortoise, this event screams inclusive!

Each event offers 4 courses ranging from Short (5 to 7km) to Super Long (21km+) and some in-between, with a competitive/non-competitive walk or run option. There's always some challenging but achievable terrain to tame while you're out there, and there will always be a cold Speight's for you when you get to the finish!
