The Journey
Day 3 - Monday 9th February 2015
Mangaweka (Ruahines)
This day is Sponsored by:
Description
This is a true backcountry adventure in the rugged Ruahines, a good chunk of it on an unmarked route over exposed tops that lead to the highest point in the Ranges. This is no place for the faint hearted or the inexperienced. Do not think about signing up for this day unless you're an experienced backcountry user. The circuit we are running - in an anti-clockwise direction - includes undulating gravel roads, steep bush tracks and rough trail through open tussock country.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Support runners need to be self-sufficient in regards to transport to the start and back from the finish. While we MAY be able to offer some assistance this CANNOT be guaranteed.
If the weather is bad we will need to seek an alternative route and possibly an easier Peak, but we will only be able to decide on that the day before. Come prepared for anything if you sign up for this day.
