Faultline Ultras

About This Event

For millennia, the fault lines beneath Wellington have shaped one of the world's most dynamic landscapes, creating the ultimate trail running playground. The Faultline Ultras harness this geological legacy, weaving through six distinct trail parks that showcase New Zealand's capital in all its rugged glory—from native bush valleys to commanding ridgelines that reveal panoramic views of the harbor and surrounding peaks. This trail festival celebrates Wellington's status as a trail running mecca, connecting runners with the city's most spectacular terrain while maintaining the convenience of urban logistics. The course traverses Kāpiti, the Hutt River trail, Belmont, Porirua, Karori, and Wellington City, creating an adventure that captures the essence of New Zealand's outdoor culture. The finish line experience in Wellington's city center provides a fitting conclusion to a journey that balances wild landscapes with metropolitan accessibility. Organized by Barefoot Sport, the event embodies their philosophy of bringing the trail running community together through breathtaking experiences. With multiple distance options available, the Faultline Ultras accommodate runners seeking everything from an introduction to New Zealand trail running to a comprehensive ultra endurance challenge.
