Event details

Kick start the new year with an adventure in the nicest terrain on the north shore. Expect contours, cliffs, and gorgeous forest. 5 courses for all abilities are on offer, from shorter on-trail courses for beginners, up to off-trail courses requiring detailed navigation.

Come along and start at any time from 10am to 11am. Courses close at 1pm.

The forest floor is VERY RUNNABLE and generally not icy. A few trails are still icy, so please wear shoes with good grip.

If this is your first event of the year, please remember to download and complete a 2017 waiver and membership form. Bringing a completed form significantly reduces queues at the membership desk. Don't forget that membership gives you free access to all our Wednesday Evening Training events!
