Queen Charlotte 3 Day Away Run
2025-10-02 12:00 - 2025-10-05 22:00
SOLD OUT
With a soundtrack of bellbirds and a backdrop of the stunning Marlborough Sounds, running the 76km Queen Charlotte Track with Hutt Valley Runners will be an experience like no other. Over three days we'll run past secluded bays, picturesque coves and native forest. But running through wild scenery doesn’t mean sacrificing creature comforts – end each day at fabulous lodge accommodation with modern amenities, a perfect way to recharge.
We'll be catching the ferry from Wellington as foot passengers to overnight in Picton. Catching a water taxi the next morning to start our 30km from Ships Cove, our bags will be dropped at our accommodation at Punga Cove. Day 2 is a leisurely 25km run to The Portage Resort, again with luggage transferred. The last day to Anakiwa is a mere 21kms, to meet the water taxi back to Picton.

Including all travel, accommodation, breakfasts, and one dinner on the trail, it's great value, costing an estimated max $750 per person:

1 night accommodation at Broadway Motel in Picton, beforehand
1 night accommodation and dinner at Punga Cove
1 night accommodation at The Portage Resort
