WALKERS: Yes, both the Taupo Ultra and the Tarawera events are one of very few ultra distances that are extremely generous with cutoff times for walkers & woggers. They have very achievable 12-16mins/km pace - simply put, your distance training is far more important than any 'speed' goals for completing this event!

1. 10km or Half Marathon Rotorua Running Festival
2. Taupo Ultra 24km or 50km
3. Tarawera 20km, 50km, or 100km in Feb
4. the 'long run' for your 1/4 or 1/2 ironman
5. Rotorua marathon and events in May
