Carreras de 5K cerca de Inglewood

Coastal Five is a two-day running festival in Taranaki, New Zealand, featuring five separate races totaling 42.2 km. Runners can enter a single race, select multiple, form a team of up to five, or complete all five for a marathon distance spread over the weekend. Each race is timed individually, accommodating those targeting a specific distance and those aiming to finish all five. The weekend begins with the 21.1 km Coastal Half, a flat coastal route from the Wind Wand to Puke Ariki Landing, followed by a 5 km garden and trail run within Pukekura Park. Day two shifts to Lake Mangamahoe for a 4.5 km cross-country run on rolling forest and farmland trails. This is followed by a 10 km hilly run through native bush at Pukeiti Gardens. The event concludes with a 1.6 km twilight mile at New Plymouth Raceway, with Mount Taranaki and the New Plymouth coastline forming the backdrop for the series.

El Lake Mangamahoe Cross Country es la tercera prueba del fin de semana Coastal Five, y se celebra en la Lake Mangamahoe Recreation Area de New Plymouth. Es una carrera corta de cross-country, con distancias de 4.5 km y 5.1 km. La carrera empieza y termina en la misma área recreativa, con salida a las 5:00 PM y un tiempo de corte a las 6:30 PM. El recorrido serpentea por senderos ondulados de bosque y granjas alrededor de Lake Mangamahoe, con una mezcla de superficies de gravel y hierba. Te encontrarás con colinas moderadas, caminos boscosos, tramos de campo abierto, vistas del lago y panorámicas de la montaña. Esto ofrece un desafío diferente comparado con las carreras de asfalto de la serie Coastal Five.
