Small but Mighty: UDC Finance Miners Trail
Are you keen to be involved in the Motatapu but not a mountain biker or a marathon runner? How about a 15km run (or walk)?
The UDC Finance Miners Trail takes you on an epic adventure ascending stunningly beautiful and historic tracks on a 15km loop course from Arrowtown. This unique event suits both hard-charging mountain runners and those who prefer to walk the course and enjoy the fabulous views.
Is it easy? No – this course packs a punch! Climbing 837m to the highest point of 1052m, you’ll need to be up for a challenge. It’s steep going up and coming down, and the course includes backcountry singletrack as well as farm track.
Why do it? Because a challenge like this is more fun with others! Last year 600 people took on the Miners Trail and our competitors loved the supportive atmosphere. They also loved our friendly team of volunteers handing out water and PURE electrolyte hydration along the way, and knowing there was a finisher’s medal waiting for them at the end. Also pretty handy is that the course starts and finishes in Arrowtown so working out how to get to and from the event isn’t part of the challenge.
Can I really walk it? You sure can! Around 25% of entrants in the Motatapu UDC Finance Miners Trail event choose to walk the course but you’ll need to make sure you meet the cut-off times.
Ready for your adventure? Don’t wait! Entries are already 40% sold, so secure your spot now. Don’t miss out—register for the Motatapu UDC Finance Miners Trail today!
