CRU Recce Run 2
Up the Valley & Back
Join us for another friendly Crater Rim Ultra recce run, it is a great opportunity to explore the course, build confidence on the trails, and connect with fellow runners.
Date: Sunday 2 August
Meeting Point: Hansen Park, Opawa
Meeting Time: 7:55am
Distance: 14km approx.
Expected Time: 2–3 hours on trail
Starting from the CRU Race Village at Hansen Park, we'll head up into the stunning landscapes of Mt Vernon Park, managed by the Port Hills Park Trust, a group we're proud to support through every CRU entry.
From there, we'll make our way up the valley to Summit Road, a perfect chance to test those uphill legs before traversing sections of the Crater Rim Trail and exploring Linda Woods Reserve. We'll then descend back to Hansen Park, enjoying a mix of flowing single track and spectacular views.
There are plenty of options to tailor the run to your fitness and goals, with shorter and longer route choices available.
Please come prepared with your own nutrition and hydration. It's an ideal opportunity to test your race-day kit and fine-tune your setup ahead of event season.
We'll cater for a range of paces, so whether you're entered in CRU, thinking about signing up, or simply looking for a great day out on the trails, we'd love to have you join us. Friends and whānau are welcome too.
Spread the word, bring a mate, and come enjoy a fantastic morning in the Port Hills!
The Crater Rim Ultra is proudly supported by La Sportiva.

By taking part in the Crater Rim Ultra Recce Run, I acknowledge that participation is entirely voluntary and at my own risk.
I understand that trail running involves inherent risks and agree to take responsibility for my own safety throughout the Recce run. I understand that this is an informal training and familiarisation run, not a race, and that I participate entirely at my own risk.
