Course Information

Helly Hansen Cape Brett Run 37km

This run starts in and passes through Whangamumu & Te Toroa Bay before joining the Cape Brett track. The track is predominantly packed earth and almost entirely free of mud even after rain, but does include some rough sections with exposed roots and obstacles. Views all along the track but particularly at the northern end are spectacular.

Although all on formed track, this run represents a significant challenge, with over 2000 vertical metres of climbing, some of it steep. It will be limited to 100 runners who will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Runners must be capable of completing the run in less than 7½ hours. A time cutoff aplies.

Top runners are expected to take 4½ hours (for guidance a 4 hour Coast to Coast runner would expect to take around 6 hours). Practice runs are permissible but runners will need to pay track fees to DoC or a track agent.
