With flat and fast riverside trails, glorious climbs up Mt Karangahake and pristine native bush, few locations can compete with the Karangahake Gorge for drama, intrigue, and natural beauty.
Join us for one of our favourite running and walking events. Immerse yourself in the area's rich heritage as you run through old railway tunnels and past fascinating relics from the gold mining age. This is undoubtedly some of the best off road running in the country!

As trail runners and nature lovers we're keen to do our part to protect our beautiful planet and reduce the environmental impact of our events. As such XTERRA Trail Challenge Waihi is removing disposable cups from all aid stations. Please remember your reusable cup, hydration pack or water bottle to fill up!
We’ll have collapsible silicone cups available at event base for $5.
