Canterbury Winter Trail Run at Inverary Station 2026

Inverary Station, located near Surrey Hills and Mount Somers, provides this final series stop with a true "Canterbury high-country adventure" atmosphere. The Canterbury Winter Trail Run at Inverary Station is Event #4, giving it an end-of-series intensity: legs are weary, points are significant, and the course does not mimic a road race. Expect "rugged rocky trails", "open tussock and matagouri country", and varied terrain demanding attention from your eyes as much as your legs. The longer distances include "multiple creek crossings", a characteristic winter trail feature that contributes to a sense of accomplishment at the finish. Participants completing all four events are eligible for series awards, meaning you will likely encounter others who have been preparing specifically for this race.
