Barefoot XTRAIL Series: Awesome Akatarawas
Sunday, 6 July 2025
Whareroa Farm, Kāpiti Coast
The Barefoot XTRAIL Series Awesome Akatarawas race at the Akatarawa Forest near Paraparaumu on 6 July 2025 is part of an annual series of winter off road trail runs.
This course provides a diverse mix of MTB tracks, horse trails, open field running and bush, and gives you magnificent views out over the sea towards Kapiti Island. Whilst still being an XTERRA course, it's probably the least technical venue in the series, so if you know a novice trail runner bring them along. It's also an ideal venue if you are considering stepping up a distance, although watch out for Misery Hill on the long course, it's a killer.
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.
