WELCOME TO MANGAETUROA, RUAPEHU - OUR HOME
The event venue is 4km along the Mangaeturoa South Road, around 10kms from Raetihi, in a paddock on the left-hand side. Access to the event is through the cattle yard gate a short distance up the road. It will be clearly sign posted.
Everyone will celebrate at the same start and finish line. (And we've got food, beverages, outdoor games and more to keep the whole tribe having fun)
