There’s a little bit of magic waiting for you at the MLT Moonshine Trail.
Held in and around the stunning scenery of Dolamore Park near Gore - the MLT Moonshine Trail, which is presented by Active Southland, has built a well-earned reputation as Southland's premier mountain bike and off-road run.
More than 400 people from throughout Southland and Otago, and from as far afield as Christchurch, take on the Moonshine’s unique offerings each year.
It’s as far from the average track as you can get - where else do you get to run and ride through a swede paddock? It’s a once-a-year opportunity to explore the fascinating Hokonui Hills through farmland opened up especially for the event.
Grab the running shoes or mountainbike and take to the saddle for the day. Got an e-bike? Bring it along - join in the fun.
This is the perfect event no matter what age, ability or stage of life - from the family looking for a fun, active day out, through to the ultra competitive mountainbiker or runner - determined to set a new PB.
The 50km mountainbike course comes with a tough reputation, you’ll definitely earn those spectacular views from the tops, contrasted with sections through tranquil native bush.
Low gears wind and calves stiffen as bikers and runners tackle steep climbs, farm tracks, gravel roads, river crossings and everything in between - exploring the serene terrain.
As you reach the tops of tussock-clad hills, drink in the sumptuous 360 degree views of Southland’s spectacular scenery.
With courses ranging from 5km to 50km, everyone is catered for - there’s even a fantastic range of spot prizes up for grabs.
Every participant is cheered on as they cross the finish, then it’s time to kick back, relax and share some war stories from your adventure.
