The Poronui Passage on 21 November 2026 is a luxury trail event with Half Marathon and Marathon trail runs plus MTB/e-Bike events in the Central Plateau.

This event gives trail runners the rare opportunity to access the secluded Taharua Valley in New Zealand’s North Island on Poronui, an authentic back-country station set in the foothills of the Kaimanawa Mountain Ranges.

The Poronui Passage is the best way to treat trail lovers to the best in life; a challenging and insanely scenic MTB, run or walk wrapped up in all the luxury treatment you could wish for.

Think hot showers, free massage, gourmet post-event fare, craft beers and wine at the finish line, all the barista coffee you can drink, cosy blankets and fires, beautiful high-quality event apparel, epic medals, a stunning and inaccessible location, and heaps more.

There are only 400 spots available for this event.
