Harties Trail Experience

Harties Trail Experience We bring you the best selection of trails in and around Harties that are worth celebrating.

We've partnered with the best to develop sections of the trails and link them together to create a series that you can RACE, HIKE, or TRAIN on.

The climb that broke you. 
The kilometre where you wanted to stop. 
The section where everything in your body said no.
And you kept going anyway. ⛰️👊

Ridgelines.
River paths.
Rocky descents.
Peaks with a punch.

Harties is not just a race venue - it is a playground, and it is right on your doorstep.

New terrain builds new muscles, new confidence, and a new relationship with the mountain.

Go and explore it. ⛰️👊😎

The Harties events may be done for 2026, but the mountains are not going anywhere. 
The off-season is not a reason to stop, it is a reason to build. To run for the love of it. To get stronger, explore new trails, and come back to Harties Trail Experience 2027 ready for everything! 

Keep moving and exploring.

What a season!! 🤘

It started back in February with the River Trail, built through the Trail Fest, and finished where it always had to: 83, 42, 23 and 12 kilometres out on the mountain at the Harties Loop.

If your legs are still talking to you about it, good.
That means it counted.

You climbed ridgelines most people never get to see, crossed the dam wall, ground (and swore) your way up climbs, and came down trails that asked everything of you.

Whether you ran your first trail race or you were out there chasing longer distances... you earned every step and every medal.

We watched people do genuinely remarkable things this year 🙌 and can't wait to see you next year again!

Four years. 
Every single loop. 
All Completed!

We need a moment to celebrate Ed Southern - the one and the only.... Loop Legend. 👊

Since the very first Harties Loop four years ago, Edward has stood on that start line every single year without fail.
No excuses. No skipping. He has showed up, year after year, on some of the toughest trails in the country! 

Here's to you Edward, Loop Legend. 😎

None of this is possible without the people who open their gates and land for us. 

To every landowner and venue who allowed the Harties Trail Experience to use their land throughout the 2026 series and this past weekend - thank you. 

The passage to these trails exists because of you. The views our runners get to experience, the mountains they get to climb, the finish lines they get to cross - all of it happens on land that people have generously shared with us for each event.

Thank you for being part of the Harties Trail Experience.
