New Zealand’s most spectacular mountain marathon – an epic race through Ben Lomond Station with ever changing spectacular scenery and trail type

Starting beside the famous Shotover River you’ll run along sheep tracks, historic gold mining water races and high country mustering routes. The scenery is forever changing as you climb and descend through tussock lands, mountain ridges, beech forest and creeks, a scree slope descent, a ladder climb beside a waterfall and even a tunnel on the valley floor.

The course finishes beside picturesque Moke Lake where you’ll be able to relax and reflect on your huge personal achievement and celebrate with fellow competitors and supporters.
