Revenant Ultra Run
Thursday, 16 January 2025 to Sunday, 19 January 2025
Welcome Rock, Blackmore Station, Southland/Otago
The Revenant is an unsupported individual Ultra Adventure Run from 16 to 19 January 2025 at Welcome Rock, on the border of Southland and Central Otago.
The course is 4 laps with a total race distance of approximately 200km and over 16,000m of vertical ascent. It covers a huge variety of terrain from alpine tussock land to Fiordland-like Beech forest. You'll be hot, you'll be cold, you'll get wet and have little time to sleep. It could even snow. You may not finish.
The total allowable time is 60 hours, with a 30 hour cut off at the end of lap 2, and 45 hours at the end of lap 3.
This event has an unmarked course between a number of checkpoints that must be navigated and reached in sequence. There is a route choice between checkpoints; any navigational alternatives may increase overall distance and vertical climb. Navigation is by map and compass only. No GPS devices, altimeters or watches of any type are allowed.
