Something pretty special is happening out here…👣🌿

What started as a vision is quickly becoming something real.

The Tairua River Trail is growing - not just as a track, but as a space for people to move, connect, and explore this incredible place we get to call home.

This video captures a bit of everything:
the trail as it stands today,
the mahi going in behind the scenes,
and the momentum building as the Tairua side begins to take shape.

If you look closely, you might even spot a few familiar faces from race day at the Pāuanui Trail Epic - a reminder of what these trails can become when people come together.

This isn’t just about running.
It’s about community.
It’s about access.
It’s about leaving something better behind.

We’re proud to play a small part in supporting something this cool 💚

Have a watch, get inspired…and keep an eye on what’s coming next 👀

The Tairua River Trail is a scenic walking and cycle route along the banks of the Tairua River in the beautiful eastern Coromandel. https://www.tairuarivertr...

THE MOMENT BEFORE

No music.
No finish line.
No cheers.

Just you…and everything that got you here.

The early alarms.
The kms no one saw.
The quiet graft while the rest of the world slept.

Standing on that start line, it all floods in…
Why you signed up.
Who you're running for.
Whether that niggly calf is about to stitch you up…

…and yeah…
“Did I put the beers in the fridge?” 🍻

This right here - this is what it’s all about.
Not the medals. Not the times.

Just a human, a challenge, and a whole lot of soul.

If you know…you know.

POST EVENT SURVEY — WE WANT YOUR HONEST TAKE

Alright legends… now that the dust has settled and the legs are slowly coming back to life, Sara and I would love to hear how your Pāuanui Trail Epic experience was.

A post-event survey has just landed in your inbox.

We read every single response.

Why? Because we’re always looking for ways to make this event better from pre-race comms, course marking, aid stations, music selection, finish line vibes…everything.

Tell us the good stuff.
Tell us the not so great stuff.
Tell us the “you should totally do this next year” stuff.

We promise we won’t take it personally 😂
It all helps us keep building something special.

Thanks again for being part of it legends.

🔥 ATHLETIC PEAK HILL CLIMB CHAMPIONS 🔥

When we introduced the Athletic Peak Hill Climb this year, we knew it would bring the spice…and these two absolute weapons delivered.

🏔 Fastest Male: Thomas Hornby
🏔 Fastest Female: Vicky Waller

At around 16km into the 34km course, runners hit our gnarly little single track climb — and thanks to timing mats at the bottom and top, it became a race within the race.

Thomas and Vicky both sent it up the climb and walked away with $100 CASH for being the fastest to the top. 💵

Massive thanks to Simon Cochrane from Athletic Peak for sponsoring this awesome element of the event and adding a whole new layer of challenge to the 34km race.

Safe to say…this climb hurt in all the right ways.

And judging by the times we saw this year the Athletic Peak Hill Climb is going to become a serious badge of honour.

👏 Huge congrats Thomas & Vicky
👏 Big love to Simon and Athletic Peak
