Introduction / Event Background
You like running and walking on trails right...? You already have, or you're ready to ditch those roads and footpaths? You're keen to spend some quality time in quality locations, with quality like-minded people. A "YES" to any one of the above means you're primed and ready for the 2010 XTERRA Auckland Trail Run Series then. Huge on fun in a low key, laid back event environment... we're not ones to boast, but this series is an absolute cracker. It's one we're proud to put our names to, and regardless of your athletic aspirations and level of ability, we think you'll love it too.

You do NOT have to be a super athlete to enjoy this series! We welcome walkers in the Short and Mid course options.

For those of you that have experienced the XTERRA Auckland Trail Run Series before, you'll know that the key focus is about getting you onto the best trails in the best off-road locations in and around this great city of ours. We'll try our very best to keep the drive to within an hour too! Keep an eye out for the carpooling info and options, which will be released closer to the time.

The format remains the same - each event offers 4 courses ranging from Short (5 - 7km) to Super Long (20km+). There's always some challenging but very achievable terrain to conquer while you're out there, and there'll always be a cold SPEIGHTS beer and a hot sausage for you when you get to the finish!

Event Options
Each event offers 4 event distance options and are named as per categories below, they are;

  • Short 5 – 8km

  • Mid 10 – 14km

  • Long 16 – 20km

  • Super long 21km+


  • Short and Mid courses can be walked so everyone gets a go!

    We’ve made it easy for you to gather the entire gang, irrespective of varying fitness and age levels, and head out of the city for an action-packed family outing. The Mid and Short courses are available as runs or walks so one event you may get to stretch out in the long or super long while your partner takes a wee whipper snapper or two around the mid or short course. The following event you can switch it all around! Family deals are $95 for two adults and unlimited little fellas so bring em all out!

    The Legendary Series Race Pack!
    The not-quite-but-nearly-famous event series race pack is back again in 2010. It’s a BIG feature for those of you that are (a) keen to secure your place on the start line at all of these events (some event locations may have an entry limit), and (b) keen to receive some really, really good stuff.

    It’s terrific value because you pretty much pay around the cost of a Mid course entry price per event, and get all the cool stuff for FREE!

    Remember – series entrants (and series packs) are limited to the first 200.
