Kinloch Offroad Challenge
The Kinloch Offroad Challenge is a trail running event held in the Kinloch area. Courses use local trails and include sections that pass Kawakawa Bay, a headland loop, and the Whangamata stream, offering a range of terrain and coastal or stream-side scenery.
The event provides multiple distance options to suit different preferences. Course formats are listed below.
- 42.2 km Marathon run
- 21 km Walk/run
- 10 km Walk/run
- 5 km Walk/run
Each course follows marked offroad trails specific to its distance, with the marathon routing past Kawakawa Bay, the half-marathon using a headland loop, and the shorter 5 km and 10 km courses following the Whangamata stream corridor. The event emphasizes outdoor trail routes rather than road running, and it is presented as an annual trail event in the Kinloch locality.
Photographic material associated with the event shows trail landscapes and participants on natural-surface routes. Registration and entry details are provided by the event organiser on the event site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
