This event is unique to Auckland and allows people to experience and celebrate Auckland's volcanic nature and topography. Our volcanoes are iconic landscape features and of great cultural importance. We are committed to preserving, protecting and enhancing them for future generations to enjoy.

Competitors will run to and up Auckland's volcanoes in any order they choose. They must stick to established tracks and paths to avoid corrosion of these peaks, and risk disqualification if they deviate.
