The Fiordland Trails Trust 5km and 10km Run/Walk event is on 1 December, between 0800 and 1000.
This is a great event for everyone to do with the added bonus of being at the start/finish line of the Kepler Challenge.  A great way to pass the time while you watch the Kepler event or wait for your significant other to complete their 60km challenge!

This year Te Anau's own Dwight Grieve had the opportunity to compete in the World Champs.  

This is a Letter we received to Thank us for our support.  Dwight is a keen local runner  and top finnisher at the Kepler Challenge each year!

We just love seeing the support that this event, and its participants receive every year.

This year, after repeated requests for people to be able to purchase our volunteers shirts.  We have produced a great quality cotton T Shirt that is specifically for the support crew.  

Congratulations to all who gained entry to the 31st annual Kepler Challenge event.  We are looking forward to seeing you all in December and celebrating 31 years of Kepler racing!

Our first 15 participants in this years race entered as part of the annual Charity Challenge. 

We are looking forward to bringing you the 31st annual Kepler Challenge event and the new site should make your journey to the start line a smooth one.  It has been a long time coming and the Kepler Challenge committee do hope that you enjoy using it over the coming months to find out everything you need to know about our 2018 race.

With a capacity field in both the FreshChoice Kepler Challenge (60km) and FreshChoice Luxmore Grunt (28km), competitors lined up for an early start to take on this iconic community race - the 30th anniversary event.

It was a 6am start for the 60km ultra runners making their pilgrimage around the Kepler Track.  A 7am starters gun followed for the “Grunt” runners.
