Ledlenser Puketapu Night Run 2026

Puketapu School hosts this night run, with the Hawke's Bay Trails used after dark. The Ledlenser Puketapu Night Run has a local-school atmosphere, organized by the Puketapu School Parents League as a fundraiser. The full Puketapu Loop is back, but run in reverse. This reverses the familiar loop. Shorter options start from Springfield Road or Lennox Park on Omaranui Rd, finishing at Puketapu School. Participants will run on road, path, and park surfaces. They can choose the full route solo, as a relay, or the shorter "fun run." The main draw is the chance to "experience the Hawke s Bay Trails in a completely different way."
