INFORMATION
After the Fri afternoon MTB event finishes, we’ll get in there and set up an awesome 2.5km multi-lap course, which will head into the evening and the darkness – bring your headlamp!
This event has morphed into 2 events! At 5.30pm we’ll start the Night Fun Run, which is designed for kids, whanau and anyone wanting to clock up the miles over the weekend. You can run or walk an awesome 2.5km course once or twice, with the view to be finished by 6.30pm. Please note, this event is not timed, it’s all about participation!
The next event starting at 6.30pm is the Multi-lap Night Run. This one has a 2-hour time limit (you must have started your last lap before 6.30pm) and is designed for individuals (again, those wanting to crank up the miles!), or would be super-fun with a relay team of between 2-4 people. Super simple, each person in your team knocks off a lap, then tags any of their team members, who then set off. Repeat until we tell you to stop!!!
Note; you must have set off and left the start/finish/transition (same spot) area by 6.30pm.
While all of this is happening, there will be plenty going on at the festival Hub site, including food trucks, bar, retail, and live entertainment and music on the festival stage - it’s going to be a very, very fun night!!

Course Information
At 6.30pm we’re heading back to the old-school for this one. Either as an individual (if you’re really trying to get the miles up over the weekend!), whanau or friends group, or in a relay team (pass the imaginary baton after each lap to your team member), we’ve created an awesome single trail loop course.
The course for this event is a 2.5km lap.
Set yourself up at the festival hub, listen to some sweet tunes, and run/walk some mint trails as the sun goes down on day one of the Love Taupo Trail Festival.
