About the race
The Blue Lake 24hr Challenge is a self supported 24 hour running event held around the Blue Lake in Rotorua. The course is a clockwise loop of 6 km with about 100 m of elevation gain per lap. Participants may run as much or as little as they like and must complete laps in the clockwise direction only.
Runners are required to bring everything they need for the full 24 hour period because the event is self supported. Poles are not permitted. The event is presented as a place to test endurance and sleep management in a controlled environment.
Organisers describe the event as free and aimed at providing a safe setting that caters for all ages while promoting trail running and ultramarathon running. The event operates with support from volunteers and donations and acknowledges the contribution of community partners and sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
