About the race
The Pāuanui Trail Epic is a trail running event on Saturday 20 March 2027 in Pāuanui, New Zealand, with courses that start and finish on the beachfront outside the Pāuanui Surf Lifesaving Club.
There are four distances available:
- 34 km
- 22 km
- 14 km
- 5 km
Each distance can be entered as a runner or as a walker. Age restrictions apply: the minimum age for the 34 km and 22 km events is 14 years on race day; children under 14 may enter the 14 km and 5 km events.
The event provides professional timing and live tracking, a race bib with an option for name personalisation (subject to a cut-off), and a timing chip supplied as a shoe tag. Hydration stations and toilets are provided on course, with water and Tailwind Endurance mix available. Finishers receive a medal and towel and a downloadable certificate; spot prizes are also awarded and a prizegiving will be held at the event headquarters.
Teams may enter a Teams Challenge. Teams require a minimum of four participants; the team score is the aggregate finishing total of the first four finishers, with a lower total being better. Competitors collect race packs at pre-event registration at the Pāuanui Village Centre or at Race HQ on event day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
