Who We Are?

We are TrailBlaze Events, and we have a confession to make: We are addicted to the outdoors.

We believe that life is simply too short to stay indoors. We are a collective of outdoor enthusiasts who believe that a little bit of mud on your shoes is good for the soul.

Our mission isn’t just to organize races; it’s to build a community. Whether you are chasing a podium finish, looking to beat your personal best, or just want an excuse to eat a guilt-free burger afterwards, you have a place here.

What We Do (and Why We Do It)

We curate experiences that get your heart pumping and your lungs full of New Zealand’s finest air. From the intensity of a crater climb to the chaotic joy of school sports, our events are designed to challenge you and—more importantly—make you smile.

Here is how we get you moving:

  • King and Queen of the Crater: This is where legends are made (and quads are burned). It’s our  Port Hills challenge for those who love to push the incline. It’s steep, it’s stunning, and earning that crown feels absolutely electric.
  • Auckland Schools Sprint Series: We are paving the way for the next generation of trail blazers. These events are high-energy, fast-paced, and filled with the kind of infectious enthusiasm that only kids can bring. We are teaching them early that the outdoors is the world’s best playground.

  • The Future of Adventure: We are constantly dreaming up new ways to get lost (figuratively, of course). From upcoming Trail Runs in unseen locations to multi-discipline Adventure Races that test your grit, we are expanding the map.

Our Vibe

If you are intimidated by serious, stone-faced racing culture, you are safe here.

At a TrailBlaze event, the person finishing first is cheering for the person finishing last. We celebrate the “giving it a go” just as much as the “crushing it.” We value grit, camaraderie, and the shared understanding that waking up early on a weekend to run through the bush makes us all a little bit crazy… in the best way possible.

Join The Movement

Whether you are a seasoned trail veteran, a student lacing up for the first time, or someone who just wants to see what the fuss is about, we want you on the starting line.

So, put down the remote, shut the laptop, and grab your sneakers. The trail is calling, and we promise the view is worth the effort.
