Barefoot XTRAIL Series: Battle at Boulder Hill 2026

Battle at Boulder Hill takes place in Belmont Regional Park near Lower Hutt, featuring short, medium, and long trail options as part of the Barefoot XTRAIL season. Barefoot Sport is the organizer of this off-road event, with distances set at approximately 8 km, 10.8 km, and 16.7 km. All three courses traverse the park’s Wellington mix of native bush, open ridgelines, and rolling farmland, offering views towards Wellington Harbour, the Hutt Valley, and the coast. The long course ascends from the valley floor to Boulder Hill, incorporating ridge running, swift descents, and a final ascent back to the start; the medium course climbs through woodland before reaching hillside tracks; the short course maintains a similar energetic feel within a condensed loop.
