21km Trail Challenge

This is the big one. The toughest Possum distance and easily the most rewarding, filled with fun!
Built for those who want to go deep into the night, the 21km serves up a full-body, full-mind challenge packed with twists, turns, and unforgettable moments.

A proper trail half marathon that includes all the epic sections. You’ll start from Owen Delany Park, lights on, nerves buzzing, and head straight into the adventure.

Early on, you’ll settle into long stretches running beside the river, with the roar of Huka Falls rolling through the night - equal parts motivation and magic. The course builds steadily with ups and downs that reward patience, smart pacing, and grit. There are moments to grind, moments to fly, and plenty of time to soak it all in.

As the kilometres tick down, the experience ramps up. The final section pulls you into the enchanted forest, where glowing trails and night-time atmosphere carry you toward the finish. The lights draw you home, and the last stretch delivers that unmistakable Possum feeling - exhaustion, pride, and a massive sense of achievement all at once.

This isn’t just a run, it’s an experience.
