- Orokonui Challenge8:00 amThe Orokonui Challenge is back in 2026 bigger than ever. This years course has grown to a 21.8km scenic course. Test yourself as you run over volcanoes, along beautiful coast, and through the protected Orokonui nature reserve. All participants can feel a sense of achievement not only for completing the challenge but also supporting biodiversity, with all proceeds going towards Orokonui’s own challenge in wildlife advocacy and conservation. The course starts near the Visitor centre carpark then runs along part of the Orokonui fence line, down the coastal connection cycleway, out to Doctor’s Point beach, back and around the Orokonui lagoon, and into the sanctuary to finish with a climb through the sanctuary’s protected forest. The total course length is approximately 21.8km and contains around 600m of elevation change. Refuel and recharge after the race with an included catered lunch from the Horopito café. Enjoy a range of their most popular items as well as a beverage buffet with coffee, tea, and juices. Use code EARLY26 to sign up before the 20th of September to get early bird pricing.
