Maungawhau (Mt Eden) Loop Walk

Kia ora Friends,,

This evenings loop walk is a crowd favourite - around the foothills of Auckland's highest Maunga and an ascent of this mighty peak, Maungawhau (Mt Eden). Come along to enjoy the evening views of the city.

This walk has a volcano, steep inclines & some steep steps. All at a swift pace.

Bring your good self along to explore an area that may be new to you, get some exercise and meet friends. Be prepared for whatever the weather throws at us, check the forecast at Weather

If you have an interest in exercise, new places, local knowledge and lighthearted chitchat, then this walk is a great way to spend your Tuesday evening. Good training for a Great Walk or recovering runners.

Fitness requirement for your enjoyment: Be able to keep a 13 min/km pace for 2 hours, with no assistance or rest.
