#LOVE TAUPO

LOVING YOU LOVING THE TAUPŌ REGION

No more plastic cups.

As trail runners and Taupō lovers we’re keen to do our part to protect our beautiful region and reduce the environmental impact of our events. As such we’re removing disposable cups from all aid stations. Please remember your reusable cup, hydration pack or water bottle to fill up! We’ll have collapsible silicone cups available at event base for $5.
