Get ready to experience the Coromandel from a whole new perspective at Ridge Runner 2026, taking place at the spectacular privately owned White Star Station in Colville on Saturday 5 December.
Designed for runners and walkers alike, Ridge Runner is a race at your own pace, combining rugged backcountry trails, native bush, rewarding climbs and soaring ridgeline views. Choose between the challenging 24km Ridge Challenge or the much-loved 12km Adventure and discover a side of the Coromandel few get the opportunity to experience.
But Ridge Runner is about much more than the finish line. Every entry includes a unique finisher’s medal, a gourmet post-event burger and one free night of camping at White Star Station. As the sun goes down, the adventure continues with live entertainment, an afterparty, bonfire and a night under the stars with your fellow Ridge Runners.
Whether you’re chasing a new challenge, planning an adventure with mates or looking for an unforgettable way to kick off summer, Ridge Runner delivers a true Coromandel experience from start to finish.
