Routeburn Classic
The Routeburn Classic is an annual 32 kilometre adventure run along New Zealand’s Routeburn Track in Fiordland National Park. The event features varied terrain that moves from lush native bush to exposed alpine environments, and includes sustained uphill sections and technical descents that require both endurance and trail skills. The course reaches alpine elevations of about 1127 to 1302 m above sea level in different descriptions.
The race began in 2001 and is limited to 400 athletes. Ownership of the event changed in 2023. The organiser lists partners from the outdoor and food industries and notes support for the Routeburn Dart Wildlife Trust. The event is staged each April; a future race day was listed for Saturday 17 April 2027 and shown as sold out with a waitlist option.
Logistical details on registration status and partnerships are published by the organiser. The event is described as an organised, single-day trail running event conducted within a World Heritage Area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
