This 21km Mountain Run really is something special. Taking you to the highest point in the region, it offers a taste of almost every type of running from native bush tracks, private farm lands and hidden coastal beaches with views over Porirua, Mana Island and Cook Strait.
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 and then into Pikarere Station 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.
With almost 900m of climbing this run is as challenging as it is spectacular. But if you have done a half marathon then you'll handle our Mountain Run.
Expected times 1hr 30min to 3hrs 30min.
