Hanmer Springs Adventure Run 2026
Run Wild. Finish Loud.
Born from the legacy of the Hanmer Springs Alpine Marathon, the Hanmer Springs Adventure Run has been created as a celebration of trail running in the region.
The run is a high country trail running event set against the striking backdrop of Hanmer Springs. Starting and finishing in the heart of the village, you’ll head straight from the buzz of the start line into rugged climbs, alpine trails, and forested ridge lines before returning to town with a medal and a story.
Choose from the 55km, 24km courses over Mt Isobel – Canterbury’s most climbed peak or take on the shorter 7km loop through hills and trail. However you finish, there’s one final challenge waiting: ringing the historic 1879 fire station bell to mark your achievement.
