Course Info
Begin your adventure with a ride up the famous Wellington Cable Car and let the passion flow from there.
A windy roam through the Botanical Gardens takes you to Thorndon, where you will be running on the luscious trails of Te Ahumairangi. Meander up into the hills, and you will be rewarded with incredible views.
As you begin your descent back down to Thorndon, you will run through the very old (and possibly haunted) Bolton St Cemetery to pass over the motorway. You’ll then make your way through the historic Parliament Buildings and the Beehive, before running to the stunning waterfront of Wellington, were you can stride out amongst all the famous landmarks to the stunning finish line.
The course is subject to change.
