Half Marathon Course
Amazing views on the way back, a solid grunt on the way up!
Starting and finishing on the main street in Raetihi, runners are heading out along the main Pipiriki-Raetihi Road and over the top of the Waipuna Hill. Near the base of the hill, you turn around and work your way back up before a good downhill and finally a more gradual climb back to the finish.
Total climbing is 332m
Aid stations
Aid station is at the halfway turnaround and on the 20k bike intersection.
