Kepler Challenge Mountain Run

The Kepler Challenge Mountain Run is described as "the jewel in NZ's mountain running calendar". The event is organized by a voluntary committee with the support, on race day, of approximately 200 Te Anau residents. This gives the event a truly "community" feel.
The 60km event plus the sister race the Luxmore Grunt (27km) is held on the Kepler Track in Fiordland National Park, part of the South Westland World Heritage Area.
