Wainuiomata Hill Run

The Wainuiomata Hill Run begins in central Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt, directing participants straight up Wainuiomata Hill. This yearly hill-running challenge offers 6.5km and 10km courses, centered on a climb to a lookout point 195 metres above sea level. The 6.5km course ascends to the lookout before returning, whereas the 10km course proceeds over the hill and then back. The event appeals to those seeking a demanding local ascent over a flat road race, and it includes both runners and walkers.
