Off-Road Adventures for all Adventurous Kiwis

16th march 2024

The Northpower Wild Kiwi will take you into one of the most scenic landscapes in New Zealand – the Whangarei Heads.

The Whangarei Heads is iconic New Zealand – you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere in the world quite like it. The views go for days and the trails will knock your running socks off!

Boasting what is quite possibly New Zealand’s toughest half marathon (plus some very achievable shorter distances), this event should absolutely rank high on your trail event bucket list.

WE’RE WORKING HARD TO REDUCE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

 

We have removed disposable cups from all aid stations. Please remember your reusable cup, hydration pack or water bottle to fill up! We’ll have collapsible silicone cups available at event base for $5. 

We will also have different bins for compost, recycling and rubbish at event base. Please take care to bring all your rubbish back off the course and dispose of it properly.
