Challenge yourself to Auckland’s toughest Ultramarathon, Trail Marathon or 22km Run/Walk!
Saturday 21st March 2026
Come and join us for a beautifully brutal trail journey through the Hunua Ranges’ stunning native bush and experience an event like no other.
Tackle the original 60km Ultramarathon, a course which demands some serious respect! Or join us for the Trail Marathon or 22km course options which still deliver a fair share of challenge of their own, plus plenty single trail bliss.
Make a whole weekend of it with camping options, event base activities and the Hunua Hillbilly Hoedown. This promises to be a very special event with limited numbers.
It’s not the Hunua Hillbilly without a hoedown!
What better way to round off the day the with some amazing live music from NZ’s best country duo, Coppers Run.
Three stunning and challenging courses to choose from
All courses utilise the awesome single tracks through this stunning native NZ bush, with plenty of challenging climbs and rewarding views to be had!
