Mt Lowry Challenge is a fun race for all fitness levels, taking place just 20 minutes from the capital on 30 March 2014. You can travel at your own pace with two distance choices on well-formed tracks in the scenic Eastbourne area. Get a team together, tie up your laces, and take part in the Bridgedale Classic Challenge or MACPAC Junior Challenge. Enjoy an 11.8km hike through mature Beech and Rata forest, climbing 400 metres, and taking in spectacular harbour views along the way. Or, if you want to step it up a notch, set yourself a new personal best with the 22km Vasque Extreme Challenge, the course designed for experienced trail runners.
