Stories from Runnas
Starting alongside the longer races, the 10km route quickly diverges to offer a compact but intense experience, climbing moderate hills and crossing streams that showcase the area's geothermal activity. The course is less demanding than the half and full marathon but still provides a good challenge with varied terrain and beautiful views. It's popular among local runners and those new to trail running, offering a taste of Rotorua's rugged environment without the commitment of an ultra-distance. Participants finish in Rotorua, enjoying the same vibrant finish line celebrations as the longer distances, with plenty of opportunities to relax and explore the city’s attractions.
