Fix Tussock Traverse Alpine Walk and Run

Saturday 28 January 2012

The Tussock Traverse is a 27km run or walk. The course begins approximately 6kms up the Tukino Road in the Rangipo Desert (entrance off the Desert Road, SH1) with a long hard climb straight up.

The track finishes on the front lawn of the Chateau Tongariro in Whakapapa where you can grab a much deserved rest and a BBQ. The Park hosts the registration and also provides the accommodation for the event. Buses run from National Park to the start of the race and pick you up at the end to head back for a much deserved dip in the spa!
