SOLD OUT - Waiting List only

This event is run under a concession contract with the Department of Conservation and numbers are therefore limited to 400 competitors.

The course is an anticlockwise circuit of Lake Rotoiti commencing from the Lake Rotoiti waterfront. Over a distance of approximately 25km.

Annualy the field usually sells out as the reputation of this track and its location, the Nelson Lakes National Park is somewhat renowned. The experience is alpine and bush trail with the possibility that participants will experience all alpine weather conditions during the event - yes, it has snowed before! Brrrrrr!
