The Riverrun Trail Series offers spectacular scenery, exciting trails that wind their way alongside the region’s most stunning waterways and races that appeal to all abilities.

The Riverrun Trail Series will allow competitors to explore three of the region’s recently developed tracks - the Hawea River Track, the Clutha River Track and the Damper Bay/Waterfall Creek Track. The tracks are all lakeside or riverside and all are challenging in their own respects and will provide a great experience for athletes, from first timers to experienced runners.

The Riverrun Trail Series begins October 2010 and concludes in May 2011 with three races making up the series. There are prizes for place getters and plenty of spot prizes to ensure everyone’s in with a chance of winning.

Enter one or enter the whole series – the overall winner of the series will earn the John Pawson Trophy, named after inspirational local John Pawson who was a dedicated advocate for the environment and the development of the trails.

Race 1. The Hawea River Track with 5km, 10km and half marathon options – 17 October 2010
Race 2. The Upper Clutha River Track 14.1km – 19 February 2011
Race 3. Damper Bay/Waterfall Creek Track 14.3km – 21 May 2011

    Great turnout for first race of Riverrun Trail Series - One hundred and sixty one runners were treated to amazing scenery on the Hawea River Track for Race One of the inaugural Riverrun Trail Series.

    The runners faced changeable weather conditions with a few rain showers to cool them down during the day and a challenging head wind as they travelled towards the Hawea township. However the weather did not deter any enthusiasm with plenty of smiles as athletes crossed the finish line.

    Vajin Armstrong from Christchurch set a blistering pace from the start and held a strong lead throughout the half-marathon event, he crossed the line in 1:16:29. Mags Helles (Wanaka) was first home in the women’s field in a good time of 1:37:28.

    Look forward to seeing you all at Race 2 - Clutha River Track, 19 February 2011
