18km Course Description and Maps
​The Toi's Challenge 18km course follows the Nga Tapuwae o Toi track, which literally means 'In the Footsteps of Toi', after the Maori chief Toi who ruled the area some 800 years ago. The trail twists up and down steep coastal hills and along two beautiful beaches, through stunning bush, up and down hundreds of steps, eased by stunning views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean and distant islands. 

Until the very last dash to the line, Toi's remains unrelentingly hilly. But your mind is taken off the tough terrain by many inspirational signs along the way, the great camaraderie with other participants, and the thought of the juicy strawberries everyone receives at the finish line, compliments of Julians Berry Farm and Cafe.

​The challenge can be completed by individual runners or walkers, as well as runners in two-person teams.
*Please note due to West End Track Closure/Re-Route event distance is 18.5-19KM (Depending on your device)
