Help us reduce plastic cups.
As fellow runners and Taupō lovers we’re keen to do our part to protect our beautiful region and reduce the environmental impact of our events. As such we’re asking all our participants to consider carrying a reusable cup, bottle or hydration pack on course. You will be able to fill them up at all the aid stations with the help of our awesome volunteers. We’ll have collapsible silicone cups available at event base for $5.
Things to see and do in Taupo.
There’s no shortage of natural wonders in the Taupō region - the heart of New Zealand’s North Island. We’ll point you to some of our favourite spots, and then let the regional experts take it from there.
