The Pepin 34KM

The 34km Trail Run is the perfect distance for those wanting a bit more than a traditional half marathon distance. The course takes you on a journey through forests, along coastal walkways, and across farmland. The 34km event also allows you access to privately owned Pepin Island. For this day only you are able to encircle the Island, giving you incredible uninterrupted views of Tasman Bay. 

Expect a run with plenty of ups and downs with approx. 1800 meters of elevation. You will be wanting to stop for photos along the way, and where the medal hung around your neck at the finish will feel well deserved! 

There will be 4 aid stations on this course with a gear drop pickup at the Pepin Island aid station. 

The minimum age to enter the the 34km is 16 years old as of 24th May 2025

Drop Bag Service

This year we have a drop bag service for the 50km and 34km distances at the Pepin Island aid station, you will need to provide your own bag and have this clearly marked with your name and race number.
