Courses will be clearly marked with course marking and marshals where necessary.
As a condition of our permit with Auckland Council, courses may be subject to change due to weather and ground conditions.
A map which shows all courses is below – everyone follows the same route with the turn around points for each course marked with relevant coloured arrow. Maybe click on the image to see a higher res version you can print out for peace of mind on the day!
ON COURSE REFRESHMENTS
Please ensure you have enough nutritional supplies and water for your needs. Saying that, we will provide a water stop on the course at the distances indicated above for each course. This water station will have water and jet planes!
At the finish we will have water and Tailwind electrolyte drink – don’t forget your reusable cup!
COMPULSORY GEAR
For this series of events, due to the nature of the courses we do not insist on any compulsory gear. However we recommend the longer course participants take the basics as it’s good practice to carry this type of gear anytime you hit the trails!
We recommend the following: Whistle, wind and waterproof seam sealed jacket, thermal hat/Thir, at least 1 litre of fluid, a survival blanket, a mobile phone and a first aid kit.
You will also need your reusable cup as we will not have paper cups at aid stations – these are provided in your race pack.

REUSABLE CUPS
Lactic Turkey Events tries to do our bit for the environment and we’ve been #paperplasticcupfree for our trail runs for two years now. We’ve sourced a new type of 220ml foldable/crushable reusable cup as per below.
Thanks to IronOak Financial Services, everyone will get one of these free for their first event, to use at our events or any other event that is cupless!
If you lose your cup for some reason then you can purchase replacements for $4. These can be purchased at our online store HERE.
There will not be any paper/plastic cups at the aid stations throughout the day or at the finish line, so you will need to take this on the run with you to use.
DO YOUR BIT FOR KAURI DIEBACK
The idea of the Wild Auckland series is to introduce you to new parks and trails now that the Waitakere Ranges and increasingly more parks close due to Kauri Dieback. The parks we take you to may not be closed but best practise dictates that we use the same principles of Kauri Dieback management in all regional parks.
We continue to work with the Auckland Council to ensure that we mitigate the risk of the event spreading Kauri dieback. Through these measures and education of participants and supporters we ensure that we are using best practice to minimise the risk of spreading the disease that is affecting New Zealand’s greatest and most majestic native trees.
The event also aims to help raise awareness of the Kauri dieback issue to the wider public.
Please ensure you read all the information on Kauri dieback here which outlines what the issue is and what you can do – whether part of the event or in your training. Lets all help raise awareness of the issue!
