Description

Run along the scenic trails of Christchurch’s Port Hills on a full-day trail running tour. Enjoy sweeping views, a relaxed café or picnic lunch, and a blend of coastline, ridges, and farmland.
Embark on a full-day trail adventure through Christchurch’s Port Hills and Crater Rim. Start from the coast and climb high above the city, linking together some of Canterbury’s most iconic trails. Enjoy sweeping alpine views, rolling farmland, and rugged volcanic ridgelines.

Run along trails that were once the rim of a vast volcano that shaped Lyttelton Harbour millions of years ago. Pass remnants of wartime lookout posts, meet a few curious sheep, and take in endless views across the Pacific and out towards the Southern Alps.

Move at a relaxed, social pace, with plenty of time to soak in the scenery. Stop for a relaxed cafe or picnic lunch mid-way, and enjoy a full day of running and exploring.
