Rocky Point Run
The Rocky Point Run is a trail running event on 14 November 2026 in Westport that raises funds for maintenance and enhancement of the Kawatiri Coastal Trail. The event offers multiple distances and both run and walk options along coastal, forest and farmland sections.
Races use different trail sections and starts at multiple locations along the coast and nearby farms. Routes pass through named sections of the Kawatiri Coastal Trail including Pūwaha, Okari, Tauranga, Omau and Kawau, and finish at the Carters Beach area. Course features include elevated boardwalks, suspension or swingbridges, coastal views and sections of native forest and farmland. One course description notes panoramic views of the Paparoa Range and the Tasman Sea.
Registration closes 6 November 2026. Entry types include individual and a family pass for the 5 km option. Organiser details are provided by Rocky Point.
