Ring Of Fire

The Ruapehu Ring of Fire will undoubtedly be one of the most challenging and exhilarating alpine adventure running events in the Southern Hemisphere with its unique combination of terrain, distance, altitude and views.

The circumnavigation of the majestic Mount Ruapehu will challenge competitors physically, mentally and spiritually. It will be tough and uncompromising, but in the end, one of the most authentic sporting experiences available in New Zealand.

Participants will be treated to a mix of desert, scoria and lava fields, stunning native bush, scraggy tussock desert-like terrain, crystal clear mountain streams as well as breathtaking climbs and expansive views of one of the most treasured landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The inaugural Ring of Fire offers a choice of:

• 72km solo ultra,
• 72km relay (approx. 3 x 24km legs) and
• 45km marathon
