The Routeburn Classic is an adventure run over the world renowned Routeburn Track traversing through 2 NZ national parks. Entries open Tuesday 29th January 2013 at 7.00am.

Staged in late April it is an exclusive event and limited to 350 lucky athletes. The track is 32 kilometers long and climbs to 1127meters above sea level.

Fiordland is renowned for its tough weather and you will be exposed to the extreme elements. This has meant snow, ice and not so tropical intense rain in past years giving athletes a good test in wilderness conditions. The sun has been known to make guest appearances at the Classic but our athletes are prepared for the treatment.

This is a true adventure run. If you like a challenge, a feeling of isolation and running through areas and landscapes straight from a post card or fantasy novel then you're in the right place.

The Routeburn Classic will be an experience you will remember and talk about for the rest of your life!
