RiverSea Ultra
Saturday, 14 November 2026
Rakahuri to South New Brighton, Canterbury
The inaugural RiverSea Ultra on 14 November 2026 is a mixed terrain ultramarathon from Rakahuri to South New Brighton.
The point to point course starts on private land on the banks of Rakahuri River and meanders along stop banks and sweeping single track as it winds its way towards the ocean with magnificent views across farmland and river.
Run along stop-banks, single track, forest trails and hard packed sand while experiencing the best of Canterbury's rivers, lagoons and beaches as you make your way to the finish beside the estuary.
Go solo or join up with your mates for a relay adventure in teams of 2 or 3.
