5km Run/Walk

For those just getting into the wonderful world of trail running and the younger members of the family, the 5km course is perfect!

Starting from the Kinloch Domain you will head right onto Mata Place, along the cliff top reserve to the scenic Whangamata Stream Track. Turn right and follow the stream to the Horse Bridge, taking in the varying scenery (don't forget to have a look at the Water Wheel!), over the bridge to return down the stream back to the lake front.  Turn left then head along the beach track to the finish line at the Kinloch Domain.
