Ready to take on The Goat next year? We dare you!
The Goat is an exhilarating adventure run that takes you from Whakapapa to Tūroa Ski Fields along the Round the Mountain track, covering the stunning western slopes of Mount Ruapehu.
This approximately 20-kilometre course features over 1,000 metres of vertical ascent and takes you through some truly breathtaking landscapes. You'll pass through ancient lava flows, scoria fields, mountain beech forests, tussock grasslands, alpine herb fields, cascading waterfalls, an alpine lake, boulder-strewn rivers, and enjoy spectacular panoramic views.
Set in the UNESCO Dual World Heritage Area of Tongariro National Park, this is a must-do for trail runners and adventurers alike.
