End of the Month Run: Tanekaha Forest

September Trail Recap – Kai Iwi Lakes

September was an absolute blast running the trails out at Kai Iwi Lakes! We had a solid group make the trip all the way west to enjoy some of the most runnable and scenic trails Northland has to offer. And the day was topped off perfectly with post-run coffee and kai generously provided by our awesome members.

A big thank you goes out to Shaun and Nadine, as well as Liz and Ron, for their extra effort in organizing – it made all the difference!

October Trail Run – Tanekaha Forest, Mangawhai

• A longer loop (exact distance TBD) for those wanting a bigger challenge

Bring your trail shoes, a good attitude, and maybe a sense of adventure. See you out there!
