An Evening With iRunFar

To kick off the fun and frivolity we are stoked to welcome the founders of iRunFar, Bryon Powell and Meghan Hicks to Arrowtown.

We'll have this amazing couple, with their unrivalled knowledge and experience of all things trail, on stage for a chat and Q&A with Mal Law, Event Director. This will be followed by a selection of awesome trail movies with a distinctly local flavour.
‍
Refreshments - snack food & drinks, including great craft beer from Altitude Brewing - will be available.
‍
Tickets: $25 adult; $15 under-18's. Get yours HERE.

Thurs 12th Dec 1.30pm start from Arrowtown

Wilding pine control

The native habitat restoration that the Wild For Nature Trust is part of all starts with clearing the land of invasive species. Chief amongst these is wilding pine. Join our trustees and local group Arrowtown Choppers on the trails near Arrowtown to help these efforts along.
‍
It won't be too taxing so don't use "I've got a big race in a couple of days" as an excuse. Come and help make a difference.
