THe LINK Run - 24KM
The Link is not for the faint hearted! Are you up for it?
​
Starting at Anakiwa Bay (beginning of the Queen Charlotte Track) the track takes runners through 24km of native bush on the newly built Link Pathway. Passing through Aussie Bay, Momorangi Bay, Ngakuta Bay and Shakespeare Bay before travelling down in to the town of Picton, this track provides competitors with views that will make the pain worth while. Just over the length of a half marathon and with hills to challenge the fittest of competitors, this event is for the experienced runner.
The Link also provides competitors with the option of enjoying a boat cruise from the main event at London Quay, Picton to the start line at Anakiwa. Enjoy the view of the track from sea level while you kick the nerves into touch before conquering The Link. Alternatively, you can make your own way to Anakiwa and meet your fellow runners at the start line. (Please note, due to restricted numbers the boat is for competitors only - supporters must make their own arrangements).
