This 10km off-road run captures the stunning coastline views of the Godley Head Track. The well maintained track begins at Taylors Mistake beach and winds its way around the peninsula via Boulder Bay, past the historic huts and gun emplacements, to the top of Godley Head. From there you will move onto a grassed farm track before rejoining the Godley Head Pathway to return the start/finish line.

With stunning hill, city, and harbour views and a variety of courses to suit all abilities, the Crater Rim Ultra is fast becoming a must-do event on the NZ Trail Running Calendar.

The iconic Takahe to Akaroa road relay incorporates the classic 8-person relay along with 2-person and 4-person options. All start from the Sign of the Takahe, and over to Governors Bay, through Gebbies Valley and onto Little River before climbing up to Hill Top. From there it is down into Duvauchelles via the Summit Road and into Akaroa along the main road.

Alongside this race is the 6-lap Allandale to Cooptown relay for our younger and older competitors, as well as those from the clubs and community who see this event as a more realistic challenge.

This Handicap Race open to all runners, which means you estimate the time it will take you to run 10km in advance. Start times will be based on your estimated finish, and starters will go in different waves. The theory is that if everybody runs to their handicap time they should finish together which gives it a unique ending.
