Route Details

This run will give a taste of what's to offer in Sawyers Bay, taking in the three peaks of Mihiwaka, Mt Kettle and Mt Cutten (if there's a way up Mt Martin we can add that in but I'm yet to find a way up!). Meeting at the Port Chalmers Golf Club carpark (see map pin) we will run up Reservoir Road to Sawyers Bay Reservoir, before heading straight up Cedar Farm Forest. From here we'll make our way up to the top of Mihiwaka, then wind our way back down and then up to Mt Kettle. After Mt Kettle, we'll go up again, this time to Mt Cutten. Once we've taken in the sights of Mt Cutten we will run back the way we came to Cedar Farm Reservoir and back through the forest to the cars. These tracks are less maintained than some of the other ones we run, so grippy shoes are a good idea, as well as some extra layers and a headtorch. The run should be about 8.5km, with 650m of ascent. See you there! :D

Short one this week with Chantal and Timothy. Stunning clear night, the moon and stars were amazing. Caught the ISS crossing being serenaded by a ruru
