About the Event

Escape to a private high-country sanctuary at the Solar Power NZ Skedaddle on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This beloved trail running festival unfolds across the majestic, privately-owned Island Hills Station, featuring point-to-point courses through stunning singletrack with Mt Skedaddle as its centerpiece. Choose your adventure from five distances, including a 42km marathon, 30km, 15km, 10km, and a kids' 4km run. More than just a race, Skedaddle is a run for nature, with all proceeds directly funding conservation for the Mandamus Reserve. Lace up for an unforgettable journey where every stride supports the preservation of Canterbury's largest protected open space.
