About the Event

Embark on a running adventure through history at the Trail Challenge Waihi on Saturday, November 15, 2025. This event immerses you in the dramatic Karangahake Gorge, where you'll traverse rivers on swing bridges, dash through historic gold mining tunnels, and run past relics of a bygone era. With distances from a 1km kids' dash to a full 42km marathon, the course offers pristine native bush, glorious climbs, and flat, fast riverside trails. It's more than a race; it's an exploration of one of New Zealand's most captivating landscapes, designed for all ages and abilities.
