Wellington XTrail Spring Series - Mad Makara

About the Event

Experience the heart of Wellington with an exclusive day at Makara Mountain Bike Park, transformed into a runner's paradise for one Sunday only on November 15, 2026. This unique course offers well-formed tracks that serve as a perfect introduction to the Barefoot XTRAIL Series, featuring a mix of bush trails and rugged 4WD paths with stunning open views.
The terrain is manageable yet engaging, starting with gentle climbs before leveling out into scenic loops through lush forests and exposed ridgelines. The park's natural protection means you can enjoy these tracks even if the weather turns unpredictable. For those tackling longer distances, expect more climbing but no extreme elevation gains; instead, relish panoramic views from Makara Peak as you ascend.
Make sure to pack a warm layer for cooler temperatures along the ridge line and prepare for an invigorating day amidst nature's beauty in Wellington’s inner city crown jewel.
