Old Ghost Ultra

Have you got what it takes?

On the 20th February 2027, those that revel in exploring their mental and physical limits will have an opportunity to do just that. Traversing the stunning 85km Old Ghost Road and with more than 2,600 metres of ascent, the Old Ghost Ultra offers competitors the ultimate test in backcountry running.

The Old Ghost Ultra is a creation of the not-for-profit Mokihinui-Lyell Backcountry Trust (MLBT) – the community group that built The Old Ghost Road.

This event has been created for two principle purposes:

1) To help introduce people to one of the most stunning and unheralded parts of New Zealand; and

2) As a humble fundraiser towards our volunteer-led efforts to sustain The Old Ghost Road.

Your interest and participation obviously satisfies both of these objectives.  Thank you.
