Barefoot X Trail Series - Red Rocks
Barefoot X Trail Series - Red Rocks takes place on 21 June 2026 at 3 Bata Place, Ōwhiro Bay, Wellington. The event uses a network of trails that run through forested sections, ridge lines and coastal tracks beside Cook Strait.
Runners follow varied surfaces including pine needle tracks through forest, ridge-top trails with uninterrupted views of Wellington Harbour and Cook Strait, and coastal sections where the sea meets rocky shorelines. The route traverses areas within and around a large wind farm, including paths among 110 metre wind turbines and access to over 25 km of trails.
There are three course options with differing distances and total ascent:
- Short Course: 7.2 km, 316 m ascent
- Medium Course: 11.4 km, 547 m ascent
- Long Course: 17.4 km, 761 m ascent
Course layouts and conditions may be changed on the day due to track or weather conditions. The event is organised by Barefoot Sport and is scheduled as an in-person trail running event at Ōwhiro Bay. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
