What to expect

Want to experience the best of the Arrowtown mountains in a short time? Then this VK (Vertical Kilometre) style run is for you. A no-nonsense climb takes you to the summit of iconic Brow Peak, with views galore the whole way, which is followed by a classic downhill blast back to Arrowtown. Whether you choose to hard-out race it to earn a 'Beast of Brow' crown or just enjoy a cruisey adventure and bag a classic peak, this makes for an epic micro-adventure. Just make sure you turn up with finely tuned quads! (This run also makes up the second leg of the Beastly Double)
