The WILD offers 5 epic mountain runs ranging from 9km to 85k in length. The races feature breathtaking mountain scenery, 0% tarmac, heavenly single track and LOTS of elevation. All races start and finish in beautiful historic Arrowtown, an old gold mining town that is just 20 mins drive from Queenstown International Airport.
This has to be one of the most beautiful and rewarding trail races on the planet. It is very much a run of two halves with a tough, mostly uphill first 18km followed by a more cruisy, mostly downhill run into Arrowtown. It exposes runners to a wide array of terrain, including everything from mellow beech forest trail to rugged, exposed ridge running.
