XTERRA Auckland Trail Run Series Riverhead

Riverhead Forest provides an endless and ever-changing network of trails in this pine plantation forest, along with a sufficient amount of glorious mud and clay! We recommend wearing shoes with sufficient tread or pairing up with a buddy at the start or out on course when you take on this challenge.

It’s not by any means scary but it sometimes helps runners and walkers, especially those new to the trails to have someone close by to lend a hand. The mid and short courses are relatively friendly (elevation wise), once you head deeper into the wilderness (from the event base) there are some real lung-busters and some pretty cool views to be had at these heights. Long and Super long participants – be prepared 🙂
