Bring your friends and family along for our Summer trail race celebrating Mount Cook Adventure Centre’s 10‑year anniversary, and be in with a chance of gifting something life‑changing to a group of young people.

This circular 10km (ish) race starts outside Mount Cook on the High Peak Trail before taking you on a scenic detour through grassy fields, shady lanes, and sandy moors. Expect to return back to festival vibes as the 10-year anniversary party gets underway with food, drink, and the chance to leap from the Zip Wire, traverse the Via Ferrata, and more great outdoor activities.

By taking part, you’ll be entered into The Good Race Raffle, the winner of which will nominate a school, youth charity, or community group to receive 100% of the race profits as a Mount Cook Adventure Centre voucher.
