Mountain Run Only

Overview

Our 21km Mountain Run really is something special. Taking you over the highest point in the region, it offers a taste of almost every type of running from native bush tracks, farm land and hidden coastal beaches with views over Porirua, Mana Island and Cook Strait. 

This is a chance for keen runners who aren't keen on the multisport or duathlon option to get a taste of one of the best mountain runs around. It starts from the Kai Tahi HQ and heads out along Porirua Stream and through Bishop Viard College to the infamous Scenic Reserve steps to the top of Rangituhi/Colonial Knob. Then you're into Pikarere Farm for a trot along the wild west coast before climbing back over the historic Takapuwahia skyline and around the base of Rangituhi before returning through Viard and Porirua Stream to finish back at Kai Tahi HQ.

As challenging as it is spectacular, with 630m of climbing and sometimes rugged terrain, this is  true "Mountain Run".
