100k & 50k NZ Senior & Masters Championships

If you’re an athlete wanting to push your body to its limit and test your endurance and internal fortitude, this is the event for you. The ultimate in endurance running are ultramarathon events. This event offers 50km, the 100km and 4 person relay options.

Importantly for participants, this race has a flat course, and is well set up with first aid stations, food and drink options around the course. The race is typically a lap event, so lap counters are needed, and spectator support is encouraged. Scoreboards are available to update athletes and spectators of live lap information.

Support crews are key for ultra events like this, and tents and tables are available for personal nutrition and hydration inside the race village zone. Supporters are able to travel alongside athletes for short distances to facilitate nutrition and hydration but cannot complete a full lap with participants.

Novices and first time ultramarathon participants are welcomed, but typically runners in this event would be affiliated with an athletics club in New Zealand. Family support, athletics club support and athletic fans are warmly invited to cheer on these ultra athletes! Watch our finest athletes put themselves through their paces and impress you with their resilience and inner strength.
