EVENT FINISHER MEDALS, MERIT AWARDS & SPOT PRIZES

Yes, we have finisher medals! If you'd like a finisher medal as a souvenir of your race, these are available for purchase, you just tick the appropriate box when you enter online. Merit prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place-getters. See RACE INFO for details.

We always have a generous amount of amazing spot prizes kindly donated by local businesses who support our event.

BUY A TREE INITIATIVE

As part of our partnership with the Hauraki Rail Trail, we've introduced the "Trail Trilogy Buy a Tree" initiative. It works like this; when you enter, you simply tick the box to purchase your tree (or as many trees as you like, they're only $5 each) and your donation will be matched so we can all help fund Trail Trilogy tree planting projects on the trail.

Our vision is that over the years as the event grows, we can make a significant contribution to the beautification of the trail and that you'll be able to run/walk or ride the trail with your families and friends and watch your trees grow over time.
