Faultline Ultra

Calling all athletes on foot or bike. Faultline Ultra is a dream come true for runners and mountain bikers. National and international competitors get to test their endurance with the wildly beautiful Wellington landscape as a backdrop. 

In April 2025, the hills and trails around Wellington provide an epic adventure for athletes. Mountain bikers and runners have six possible routes to push their limits on. Beginning with 6-kilometre and 11km tests, the routes grow in length to 24km, 50km, 100km, and a colossal 162-kilometre challenge. You choose the length depending on your ability.

The fault lines around Wellington have pushed and pulled the land to create soaring peaks, rugged ridge lines, and bush-clad hills. Athletes can choose trails that wind through Wellington City, Makara Peak, Porirua, Belmont Park in Lower Hutt, and Tulsa Park in Upper Hutt. Sign up and compete — you’re likely to get the best after-match stories you will ever tell.
