About the Race

Held in August, the Mitre 10 Te Anau 10k a fantastic opportunity to experience the bracing freshness of a Fiordland winter’s day, when crisp clear days are the norm. With mighty Mt Titiroa behind you and the World Heritage Fiordland National Park to your left, the scenery will enthral even the seasoned runner. Running or walking under the snow-capped mountains, you’ll snake your way through sections of beech forest and alongside the crystal clear Waiau River before finishing up at picture perfect, Lakefront Te Anau. 10:00am start at Queens Reach, where you will run/walk along Fiordland Trail Trust’s Lake2lake track beside the Upper Waiau River before climbing up to higher terraces on four occasions. A relaxed and enjoyable vibe flows through the field as you draw inspiration from the breath-taking scenery. From there you reach the Lake Te Anau control gates – where you make your way around the stunning lakefront trail. There’s plenty to take in as you pass Tui Bay and the Te Anau Bird Sanctuary (try to spot a takahe or a kākā) before heading along the town waterfront to finish at Steamers Beach on the Lakefront. Three water stations and three toilet stops can be found along the way. Tailwind will be on course as our event nutrition at water stations along with fruit and lollies
