A Solo or Team Event

Rustic Run Extra Information

THE RUSTIC RUN & WALK

The Rustic Run & Walk is an easy to moderate fun-oriented event that compliments the extreme Mt Difficulty Ascent held on the same day. The half or full marathon options are run in 5.275 km laps through the Bannockburn Sluicings near Cromwell, Central Otago. Challenge yourself, or enter a team of colleagues, family or just a group of mates. Run in any order or any distance. Enjoy the atmosphere, camaraderie and meet others with the same goals.

Mid June is WINTER in New Zealand

This is especially so in Central Otago where we get the coldest winters in the country. One of our special characteristics is our frosty mornings followed by crisp, clear calm days. So it could well be 'cool' for the race start, you’ll soon warm up once you get moving… Might get up to 12-16’C later in the morning… or it could be windy/rainy/snowy. Those last three are the least likely but Terry's moto is 'the worse the weather the greater the adventure!' Please dress appropriately.

Please read the Things You Need To Know and Terms and Conditions tabs before registering for this Event.
