3KM - THE SPARK

Young ones on the Trails

Round up the crew, this one's for the young guns. The 3km Spark is a fun trail run built just for kids under 12, with mates and whānau cheering them on every step.

The looped course blends flat sections with gentle rollers and a couple of short, punchy climbs, enough to keep things exciting without being overwhelming.

A great way to get the kids out on real farmland and soak up the Blazing Hills atmosphere.

Entry is just $10+book fee.

Please note, the trail surface isn't suitable for pushchairs or buggies. Adults can run with the kids if needed.

Every finisher gets a medal (or can opt to plant a tree instead) plus an aid station waiting at the finish line.
