The Taupō Trail Festival weekend from 13 to 15 March 2026 offers run/walk and MTB events on some of the best trails and locations in Taupō.
The details on this page are based on the previous event and subject to change; we will update this listing as more information comes to hand.
Friday run/walk events include a 2.5km or 5km Trail Colour Run, followed by a Multi-Lap Night Run on an awesome single trail loop course.
The iconic Craters Trail Run/Walk is on Saturday with a variety of distance options; from a 2km kids dash to a quality 21km half marathon, and everything in between.
As well as MTB events, there is also an individual or team Rogaine where you set off with a map and your running shoes, and try and find as many markers as possible in a set time.
