Barefoot XTRAIL Series: Battle at Boulder Hill
Sunday, 19 October 2025
Belmont, Lower Hutt, Wellington
The Barefoot XTRAIL Spring Series Battle at Boulder Hill in Belmont on 19 October 2025 is a classic slice of Wellington trail running.
The event includes a short, medium and long distance course, all set in the Belmont Regional Park. The courses take runners through a mix of lush native bush, open ridgelines, and rolling farmland with epic views across the Wellington harbour, Hutt Valley, and out to the coast.
The short course is a compact loop with punchy climbs and flowing descents. The medium course heads up the hill the same way, with a gradual climb up through the Belmont bush, before breaking out on to open hillside with epic views of Belmont's rolling ridgelines followed by some downhill tracks before rejoining the original track back into the Recreation Reserve. The long course is a steady climb from the valley floor to the summit of Boulder Hill, followed by sweeping downhills and one final sting in the tail before you loop back to base.
