Te Araroa Trail speed record
31 days 19 hours 40 min
At the start of 2025, I set out for a new adventure that has been on my wishlist since I’ve started ultrarunning: Te Araroa. A beautiful trail in New Zealand, which I hiked back in 2015 when it opened. This time, I was accompanied by the same crew that joined me on the PCT.
The trail crosses beaches, lakes, mountains, rivers and islands, running from the Northernmost point to the Southernmost point of New Zealand. We received such a warm welcome by the wonderful people of New Zealand, who showed up every single day. Thanks to them, there was not a single day that I ran alone.
