WALK

Long Walk: Allans Beach - Taiaroa Head - 16km* Start time: 9.00am, includes a boat ride across the Papanui Inlet courtesy of the Otago Coastguard.

*all leg lengths are approximate.

 

The Short Walk may only be 4km shorter than the long walk but is much more managable as it does not include the last two significant hills of the Long Walk.

 

The walks are not competative but to give an indication of how long it may take to compete the Long Walk the fastest time is less than 2&1/2hrs and the slowest time is over 5 hrs. The average time is over 3&1/2hrs. We have no times for the Short Walk as it is a new event. However we estimate the Short Walk will take between 2 and 3 hrs.

There is a cut-off time for the Long Walk of 12 midday at the boat ride waiting area. Long course walkers who reach the boat ride after 12 midday will be redirected to the short walk finish at the pyramids car park.
