RACE BIO:
See it to believe it! The Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon has welcomed runners from all over the world to challenge themselves over the demanding terrain of the Ben Lomond Station. Dubbed as one of the ‘must do’ off road events on the global marathon calendar the sheer variety of terrain will both test and entertain you whilst all the while be blown away by middle earth scenery on your journey from Skippers Canyon to Moke Lake. Be prepared for an adventure like no other!
THE COURSE:
There’s no question - it’s a tough course! One that attracts more and more participants each year to work up a sweat, swear a little, shed a tear or two but push on – the sense of satisfaction and achievement is quite overwhelming… You truly deserve a massage and a cold one at the finish line!
After leaving the beach at Skippers Canyon you will run along old gold mining water races, traverse many ridgelines and bluffs, reach several summits, cross bridges, meander through old gold mining tunnels, have fun running on awesome single track through beautiful beech forests, dig your heels in whilst descending screes, climb ladders alongside waterfalls and skip through refreshing low river crossings on the final stretch to the finish at Moke Lake… Fun times!
This event incorporates a number of different distances. Something for all the family…
