This is a great event for families. Your day starts with a free train ride from Waihi Station to your start line at Waikino. When you hear the Goldfields Railway train's whistle, that's your signal to 'Race the Train' back to Waihi. The course meanders along-side the Ohinemuri River back to the finish line and if you're fast enough you'll see the train along the way. The train takes about 40 minutes station to station.
