Ultra Five-0 2026

Ultra Five-0 is a trail running event in Auckland’s Hunua Ranges, utilizing the Hunua Traverse Trail. The primary race is a 50km point-to-point ultramarathon from Kaiaua to Clevedon. A 25km option and a 50km team relay are also available, allowing the distance to be shared between two people. The route is runnable and follows gravel roads, single track, and chip-seal roads through Hunua Ranges Regional Park. Participants will pass reservoirs, native bush, forestry areas, and farmland. The relay handover point is at Mangatawhiri Dam, which also serves as the start for the 25km race, covering the latter half of the course to Clevedon. The event is a joint venture between Trail Events NZ and First Tier Sports Productions, with Ultra Five-0 Limited located in Clevedon.
