Barefoot XTRAIL Series: Mad Makara
Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park, Karori, Wellington
The Barefoot XTRAIL Series Mad Makara at Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park in Karori is part of an annual series of winter off road trail runs.
The next event date is to be confirmed.
These tracks are all open and well formed, with a little climbing at the start. There's nothing too technical, they include some bush clad trails mixed with some 4WD tracks with open views. The tracks are quite protected should the weather be dodgy. Medium & Long will have a fair amount of climbing, although you don't go that high. You do get nice views from Makara peak, but ensure you pack some warm clothes as it can get chilly on the ridge line.
Each race in the series has short, medium and long distances, which equate to approximately 5km to 7km for short courses, 10km to 14km for medium courses, and 17km to 20km+ for long courses.
