Overview:
A weekend full of trails, community, and mountain vibes in the wild heart of Reefton, West Coast. We'll kick things off Friday evening with a casual 4–5km meet and greet run to stretch the legs and say hi, before diving into the good stuff on Saturday. The morning starts with an icebreaker at basecamp, then we hit the hills for a punchy 10km technical trail run with 500m of elevation—expect roots, rocks, and classic West Coast bush. After a laid-back lunch (provided), the afternoon brings space to learn and connect with fellow runners and multiple Guinness World Record holder and endurance running coach Emma Timmis, followed by a slow-down yoga session to reset the body. We’ll head to the local pub for dinner to share trail stories and yarns. Sunday ramps things up with a long run—20–25km with 700m of climb, fuelled by your own packed lunch and some serious grit. We wrap up the weekend back at basecamp with cake, photos, and big post-run smiles.

After the morning’s adventure, we refuel with a laid-back lunch (provided), followed by an afternoon session of workshops, Q&As, and coach chats—designed to sharpen your trail skills and fuel your motivation.

We’ll take in flowing trails through West Coast bush with plenty of time on the feet to close out the weekend strong. We’ll stop mid-run for a relaxed lunch (bring your own), before cruising back into basecamp for cake, photos, and some well-earned chill time with the crew.
