Taupō Trail Festival
Friday, 13 March 2026 to Sunday, 15 March 2026
Craters Mountain Bike Park, Taupō
The Taupō Trail Festival weekend from 13 to 15 March 2026 offers 2 days of running adventure in the heart of Craters forest.
Friday run/walk events include a 2.5km or 5km Trail Colour Run, followed by the Corporate Night Run - with a 2-hour time limit, this event is perfect for individuals wanting to rack up the miles or a relay team of 2-4 people ready to take on the challenge together. Each person runs a lap before tagging in their teammate.
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.
This is a cup-free event - bring your own cup/water bottle for refilling at aid stations during the races.
