Barefoot XTrail Series - Mad Makara

Barefoot XTrail Series - Mad Makara is a one-day trail running event at Makara Peak MTB Park in Karori, Wellington on 15 November 2026. The event is for runners only and is organised by Barefoot Events.

The courses use well-formed park tracks and a mix of bush-lined trails and 4WD tracks with open views. There is a little climbing at the start of the routes; the medium and long courses include a fair amount of climbing though they do not reach very high elevation. Runners can expect protected trail sections that offer shelter if the weather is poor, and ridge-line sections near Makara Peak where conditions can be chilly, so warm clothing is advised.

Registration is open through the event organiser and closes on 15 November 2026. Multiple course options are offered with different distances and entry categories.

Distances:

  • 7 km
  • 12 km
  • 18 km

Location: Makara Peak MTB Park, 116/122 South Karori Road, Karori, Wellington, New Zealand. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
