The Orokonui Challenge is back in 2024. Test yourself over our tough 18.7km course as you run over volcanoes, along beautiful coast, and through the protected Orokonui nature reserve. All participants can feel a sense of achievement not only for completing the challenge but supporting biodiversity, with all proceeds going towards Orokonui's own challenge in wildlife advocacy and conservation.
The course starts near the Visitor centre carpark then runs along part of the Orokonui fence line, over the side of Mōpanui, along the coast from Pūrākaunui to Doctors Point, past the Orokonui inlet, and into the sanctuary to finish with a climb through the sanctuary's protected forest. The total course length is 18.7km and contains around 600m of elevation change.
