Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon

Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon The Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon is a trail running event held in February each year.

The Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon is an off road running event held in February each year on the Ben Lomond High Country Station in Queenstown, New Zealand. On the 17th of February 2018 - you will be able to experience the challenging and diverse terrain of Ben Lomond Station near Queenstown. Starting beside the famous Shotover River you'll run along sheep tracks, historic mining water rac

es and high country mustering routes. The scenery is forever changing as you climb and descend through tussock lands, mountain ridges, beech forest and creeks on the valley floor. The course finishes near the picturesque Moke Lake where you'll be able to relax and reflect on your huge personal achievement and celebrate with fellow competitors and supporters. The Foster Family looks forward to hosting you on their special piece of Aotearoa.

This is Eliott. Eliott makes beer. Not just any beer, award winning beer, including the Good Times you had the finish line. Eliot also enjoys running, or at least enjoys drinking beer after running a 30km Adventure Run through the mountains!

Interesting fact Eliott grew up just down the road from the Foster's on the Moonlight Track - great to have amazing support from our literal neighbours.

Massive thanks to Eliott, Eddie and Jeremy plus all the crew from who support our event.
