Now is the time to get on board and join Qwik Kiwi Coaching for my great training plans to prepare you for Dun Run Trail Run in 20 weeks.
Rugged but runnable – 26kms up into the “Backwoods of Nelson” and along the sub alpine mineral belt. Sweeping views out to a glittering Tasman Bay await you as you descend New Zealand’s first railway line to the finish.
From the Maitai Dam, the route ascends to the Dun Mountain Saddle (875m) following the south branch of the Maitai River. Taking the Coppermine Saddle track and downhill along New Zealand’s first railway line, through Third House and finishing at the OK Corral, Brook Street, Nelson. This is a testing run – but not impossible.
