Botanic Gardens Trail - Auckland 2026
The Botanic Gardens Trail takes place at Auckland Botanic Gardens and Totara Regional Park on 26 September 2026. Courses start within the gardens, pass through cultivated garden areas, then move into the native bush of Totara Park. The mid and long courses go further into the regional park and pockets of old-growth native bush before rejoining the short course in the Nikau forest.
Track surfaces are given as 55% well-formed gravel track, 25% paved footpath, and 20% grass. Elevation gain varies by course: the short course gains 53 m, the mid course 141 m, and the long course 227 m.
Distances offered:
- 5 km short course
- 10.8 km mid course
- 14.5 km long course
