McKerrows Revenge
McKerrows Revenge is a trail running event in Wellington on 25 October 2026 organised by Barefoot Events. The course runs on local tracks that include bush, river valley and open areas and uses sections of the West Wind Trails.
There are three course options with approximate distances and expected completion times:
- Long Course 16 km typical 1:30 to 2:45 hours
- Medium Course 12 km typical 1:10 to 1:45 hours
- Short Course 6 km typical 35 to 50 minutes
All courses start at the Wainui Athletics Club grounds and use nearby tracks. Long and Medium courses include the climb up Whakanui Track, a clockwise 3.5 km loop on McKerrow’s Track, and sections that may be technical or not obvious to follow. The event notes that parts of the 3.5 km loop are not obvious and recommends that only experienced trampers attempt to explore them beforehand with a map, GPS and a cell phone. Short Course follows Gums Loop, Tana Umaga Track and the Forest Loop, then the Sledge Track and a bridge across the Wainuiomata River back to Richard Prouse Park.
Registration opens 18 August 2026. The event is scheduled to take place in Wellington, New Zealand, and is managed by Barefoot Events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
