What Makes It Great

The 100km Team Relay covers the same full course as the solo 100km event, split across a four-person team. Leg 1 (29km) begins at Waihaha River carpark before dawn and traverses the Waihaha and Waihora trails through private land to Hingarae Road. Leg 2 (21km) crosses raw farmland, forestry, and roads to the Airstrip at Whangamata Road. Leg 3 (26km) flows down the Great Lake Trail to Kawakawa Bay and into Kinloch. Leg 4 (24km) finishes with the infamous W2K Trail and Headland Loop into Whakaipo Bay. All changeovers are accessible by car and located at aid stations.
