The Double Rainbow Trail Run is a 46km, 25km or 17km trail run based around Rainbow Mountain, Rotorua.

From the top of Rainbow Mountain you might see the Double Rainbow! If not, sorry, you'll have to settle for the view of Tarawera, Rotorua District and to the South West the Central North Island volcanos! A great variety of tracks from the beautiful DOC tracks going up and down Rainbow Mountain which go through geo-thermal activity, to private farmland tracks or forest roads.

The course starts on a private farm, before crossing underneath SH38 and joining the new cycle track around the base of Rainbow Mountain. This joins the existing track to the summit which offers amazing views (double rainbow like views!) including the central North Island volcanos. Then it's down a mountain bike downhill trail and around the base to the track up to the summit again. The 42km will climb four times, the 25km two times and the 15km once! You return from the mountain under the highway again and back through the farmland to finish at Lake Okaro.

As usual, as part of your entry fee we provide a light meal of a couple of sausages and a cookie after the race.
