The Tarawera Ultramarathon is a 100, 85 or 60km trail ultra. distance run from Rotorua to Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Along way you'll pass through exotic forestry, native bush, lakes, waterfalls and follow a beautiful river. Most of the run is on single track trails or forestry roads. You can compete as a solo athlete or as part of a relay team. There will be buffet aid stations, drop bags, pacers, spot prizes and free hotpools at the finish. Plus you'll get to share your day with an international field of athletes.
The 3rd annual Tarawera Ultra. will be on Saturday 19 March 2011.
It will be a little bigger, better organised, with more social activities and just as adventurous as the previous two editions. Expect more single-track trails too! - Run free and love widely - Paul Charteris (Race Director)
