RAIL TRAIL RAMPAGE

---

The 42km Marathon runs from Little River all the way to Lincoln. The Marathon takes you alongside Lake Forsyth, Lake Ellesmere, atop railway embankments, passing through farmland, and crossing footbridges. And that is just before you reach the village of outskirts ofLincoln. Here you will weave your way through the Lincoln Wetlands, an area rich in natural diversity, and alongside the Liffey as you make your way to the Finish Line. 

The Marathon is a flat, fast, and very scenic! 

The 30km Trail Run begins near the edge of the South Pacific Ocean, and takes you to the picturesque village of Lincoln. The course starts at the beginning of Kaitorete Spit and you cross through farmland before coming to Lake Ellesmere. You get to enjoy the diverse wildlife as you run through this section until you get to the Motukarara Railway Station. From here you make your way towards Lincoln, enjoying the country lanes and fresh rural air before coming into the town to the Finish Line. 

The 17km Trail Run sets the Rail Trail theme right from the get-go, with the start line being at the Motukarara Railway Station. The course takes you through the rich Selwyn soils that give us the lush green of the district, before taking you on to quiet country lanes as you near Lincoln.  You get to experience the beauty of the district throughout the entire course. The 17km is a nice step up from the 10km event and you  still get to enjoy the Rail Trail while not being out on  the course for too long. 

The 10km Run or Walk is a classic distance and what better way to enjoy this race than by running or walking 10km in a beautiful location!

The course starts at the Greenpark Domain before you join the Rail Trail on water-side country lanes. You make your way towards Lincoln and arrive at the Lincoln Wetlands. You have a bit of fun here as you  make your way over the stepping stones above the water, before taking the picturesue pathways alongside the Liffey to the Finish Line in the village of Lincoln.  

The 5km Run/Walk is a great event suitable for everyone. The course is flat and fast for the more competitive runners, and it is also scenic and easy underfoot for those with prams or walkers wanting to 'walk and talk'. 

The course begins at the Lincoln Wetlands and you make your way through Lincoln alongside the Liffey, under trees, beside ponds, and over footbridges. It truly is a great course and shows off the wonderful pathways around Lincoln. Perfect for everyone! 

Everyone loves a Kids Dash! The Rail Trail Rampage offers a fun 'Chase the Superhero' event for the young ones that is heaps of fun for not just the kids. Parents and Grandparents are able to support their child/ren from the sidelines as they chase the Superhero around the Lincoln Domain. 

There are no podium prizes for this event as the focus is all about having fun, but every competitor gets a medal and has a great time.
