Carreras de Marathon cerca de Cromwell

Mt Isthmus Traverse is an off-road running event on Glen Dene Station near Lake Hawea, New Zealand. Active QT organizes it, with four race options: a 42.2km Mountain Marathon, a 27km Hill Run, a 10km Trail-Hill Run, and a 5km Trail-Hill Run. The longer races start in the morning from Dinner Flat, while the shorter trail-hill races start later from the same start and finish area. The course uses mountain trails, single track, ridgelines, and 4WD farm tracks, with open views over Lake Hawea and the Southern Alps. The marathon is the hardest option, with 2,175m of climbing and big alpine climbs and descents; the 27km race still packs in 1,529m of gain on rugged hill terrain. Even the shorter races are not flat: the 10km has 652m of climbing, and the 5km loop still climbs 310m, so this series suits runners who want hills rather than a fast road-style effort.

El Queenstown Marathon es una carrera que se celebra cada año en la zona de Queenstown Lakes, en Nueva Zelanda. Tiene un marathon de 42km, un half marathon de 21km, una carrera de 10km y una Kids Run de 2.2km. ASICS presenta el evento, ofreciendo a los participantes varias distancias para elegir en vez de centrarse solo en el marathon completo. El recorrido es bastante llano, con un 70% de trail compacto y un 30% de asfalto, lo que lo diferencia de un marathon de asfalto tradicional. Pasa por Millbrook Resort, Arrowtown, Lake Hayes, el Shotover River, Lake Wakatipu y Queenstown Gardens, terminando en el centro de Queenstown con vistas a las cordilleras Crown y Remarkables.
