COURSE DETAILS:
Tip Track Marathon (TTM) –
Tip Track Marathon is an out-and-back, out-and-back, out-and-back, out-and-back, out-and-back, out-and-back type course that has proven popular with participants. Each of the six laps is slightly over 7km, with around 400m in elevation (2500m in total). Try not to trip on a loose rock while taking in the aromatic smells emanating from the tip. Ignore the gale-force northerly. It makes for a challenging marathon but you can find comfort in the other runners suffering too.
Recommended donation: $40
Half Marathon -
For those that hate themselves but not as much as the marathoners. Same course as above but three laps instead of six,
Recommended donation: $25
Tip Track Marathon (TTM) is a low-key, no frills trail running race that takes place at the Tip Track in Wellington each year - all in the name of charity. TTM is all about hard hills, high-fives, and doing something stupid for the sake of it. There are no prizes. Your workmates will not understand why you did this. It’s not even that fun.
This is a race for those that want a little more from life than the ordinary. Those that question the monotony of their daytime jobs and wonder, "isn't there meant to be more to life than this?" Enter TTM... I mean, you won't find any answers here but those are the people that tend to be attracted to it.
