What We Do.

Mountain Running.

We have five events on the Mountain Running calendar. It all begins in January with the Ultra Easy 104km challenge, and a Mountain Marathon from the Snow Farm down to Luggate. This is followed by our flagship Northburn100 weekend in March, which has multiple distances over multiple days to enjoy, or suffer through. The Mt Difficulty Ascent and Rustic Run are in June and cater for all ages and abilities.

Mountain Biking.

We have two mountain biking events in the calendar. A 34km OR 44km mostly downhill, technical event in the Lake McKay Adventure MTB, and a 75km endurance mountain bike from Garston to Bannockburn called the Gutbuster, which is a part of the Subway Summer Series in Cromwell.

Rogaines.

There are three Rogaines on our Event Calendar. These are in Autumn, Winter and Spring, and are all very different, covering different terrain, with their own challenges. Rogaining is a growing sport in our area, with lots of families getting involved, as well as the more professional navigators - something for everyone.

Flat Running.

We have two half marathon and 10km races during the year - one in Wanaka, the Southern Lakes Half Marathon and 10km which runs down the Cardrona Valley Road and is limited to 500 particpants only and sells out! We also have the Cromwell Half Marathon and 10km, which runs along the tracks beside Lake Dunstan, and is part of the Subway Summer Series in Cromwell.

Who We Are

Terry and Stephanie Davis.

Married for 19+ years, with 4 children, in their pre-teens and teens. Living on a Lifestyle farm at Lowburn, and running events together since 2004.

Highland Events was started in 2008 by Ed Stevens and Terry. They both came from keen participatory backgrounds of running, multi-sport and Rogaining! The duo came to a sad end June 2019 when Ed lost his battle with Cancer. It was Ed's wish that Highland Events continue and Terry is very keen to make sure that happens!
