The Crater Rim Ultra 80 KM
Take on the challenge of the 2023 Crater Rim Ultra Event. An 80 km trail Ultra to Banks Peninsula’s highest peaks and return. Te Ahu Pātiki, aka Mt Herbert, is central to the Banks Peninsula massif. A magnificent viewpoint across the Pacific, Kaikouras and Southern Alps. Your challenge celebrates the concept of running from urban City to nature’s Wilderness 'n' back. Unique in New Zealand, the out and back format has a fearsome reputation overseas; with the pinnacle event being the Leadville 100 Mile. At 50 Miles our stunning Crater Rim Ultra is bound to get all entrants training hard. You’ll ascend the highest West Peak and traverse the beautiful sub alpine ridge to the turnaround on the East Peak. From there it’s all downhill to the finish if it wasn’t for those epic climbs to get back home. Follow us on Facebook for up to date information or visit our Instagram page. |
