Motueka to Māpua Relay 2026

From the Motueka Saltwater Baths to Māpua Community Hall, this is a mostly flat run or walk along the Great Taste Trail with a relaxed relay feel. The Motueka to Māpua Relay is a team-based event in the best local sense: clubs, families, friends, runners, walkers, and mixed groups all sharing the same point-to-point day. The course is off-road trail rather than road-race grind, split into legs so people can take it on solo, in pairs, in threes, or as a four-person relay. Those flexible team options are the real draw: social walkers can settle into their pace, experienced runners can stretch out, and hybrid teams can make it a properly shared event without everyone needing the same speed.
