Join the Epic 15km Trail Run or Walk in Arrowtown.

This trail run course follows a spectacular loop from Arrowtown, ascending the historic Tobin’s Track up onto the Crown Terrace before entering the magnificent Glencoe Station. As you climb, you’ll pass the historic ruins of a miner’s cottage, reaching the Aid Station at 7.2km, where you’ll find water and toilet facilities.

Exiting the Aid Station, the course continues up the tussock-covered hillside, ascending to the high point at 1052m with a breathtaking view of the Wakatipu Basin. The trail narrows to a single track, cutting across the top of the mountain and heading towards the big descent of the race. The next couple of kms zig-zag down on a rough, disused 4WD farm track. The course then heads into New Chum Gully, dropping onto Tobin’s Track for the final push to the finish.

This is a mountain run course with varied terrain underfoot, including farm track, backcountry single track, and sections of steep ascent and descent. This will be a spectacular race that you won’t soon forget.
