Event #4 Winter Trail Run Series

Inverary Station

Countdown to Event #4 - Inverary Station - 9th August 2026

Located just 15 minutes west of Mount Somers Village, at the base of the Moorhouse and Peter Ranges, Inverary Station delivers a true Canterbury high-country adventure. The course winds through rugged rocky trails, open tussock and matagouri country, with multiple creek crossings on the longer routes adding to the challenge. Long climbs are rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding ranges, Mount Somers, and across to the Ashburton Lakes — making this a fitting and unforgettable finale to the series.

Complete all four events in the Winter Trail Run Series to be eligible for series awards, presented to the top three male and female finishers in each age group and distance.
