Pouawa Citrus Farm Run 2026

Pouawa Citrus Farm is the focus: a trail run and walk set on a working farm near Whangara. The Pouawa Citrus Farm Run is more farm-gate than finish-line fuss. Organised by the Gisborne Harriers Club, it has a casual, practical feel. Children, families, beginners, walkers, and runners who like a bit of dirt share the same terrain. Expect a mix of "gravel farm roads and farm tracks" underfoot, with "uneven or muddy sections" if the ground is wet. The shorter options suit anyone after a "brief run or walk on farm terrain," while the longer route keeps "extending further across the farm" on similar surfaces. Trail shoes are recommended, not because it sounds extreme, but because farm tracks can make road shoes feel unsuitable.
