Have you ever dreamed of trekking the length of New Zealand?

The Great New Zealand Trek is New Zealand’s most ambitious outdoor event taking an army of trekkers the length of the country. Participants can choose to mountain bike, ride a horse, or walk the distance, finishing each evening at the travelling campsite complete with gourmet mess hall, bar, hot showers and massage.

The Great New Zealand Trek began in 2006 at the top of the North Island as an annual week long event.  Since then the trek has continued south raising around $50,000 for Multiple Sclerosis Research.
Stage 3 was held from March 15 to March 23, 2008 beginning at Port Jackson at the top of the Coromandel to Tairua. 220 'trekkers' took up the challenge of 140 kms over 6 days.  Each day was between 14 kms & 32 kms with the average day of 23 kms making it very achievable for a group aged up to 77!  

Stage 4 is from March 14 to March 22, 2009 from Port Waikato to Kawhia. The journey to Bluff continues.   Back to the wild west coast to continue the journey off the beaten track over a stunning landscape.
