31KM TRAIL RUN / WALK

Brand new course for 2024! The 31km ventures up to Billy Goat Point on Motutapu Island for stunning views of Waiheke, Rakino, and beyond to begin with. You’ll run along the less visited Northwestern coast of the island, past Sandy Bay (arguably the best beach on the island) and Raupōiti (Administration Bay) - though the outdoor education camp.

At 12.5km you’ll venture out onto Rangitoto Island. Its a steady climb up to the summit (260m) where you’ll do a loop of the crater before taking in the 360degree views from the viewing platform. You descend down the opposite side and pop out on the southern coastline. Next, a gravel road section through to Ngāraparapa (Islington Bay) will enable you to stretch the legs out a little.

Before leaving Rangitoto, you’ll travel along the doorstep of a number of the old island batches, some of which are still in use today. There is one final climb up to the highest point on Motutapu (121m) before descending to the finish in Te Pehi o Manawatere (Home Bay).

Grab an ice cold Speights and soak up the atmosphere.

Please note, we are expecting the 31km to sell-out, so if you're keen, make sure you get in early!
