The track winds its way through Beech forest and across a swing bridge to a viewing platform over the Blue Pools. This well known and photographed spot is an easy 30 min return run and suitable for all abilities. Combine this run with any number of other shorter runs we have available.

    RunAways Wanaka’s guided running tours provide an alternative way of finding run locations in the Wanaka area without the hassle of finding transport, directions and track information yourself. While the mountains are our primary focus (there’s kinda a lot of mountains around Wanaka) we do have a few ‘flatter’ runs for those looking to take things a little easier. The guided runs are classed as runs however we do a lot of ‘power hiking’ on the majority of the ascents (as to not blow up and bonk!). We offer:

    • Pick-up and drop-off at your chosen local accommodation
    • Transport in a safe and comfortable 4wd vehicle
    • Commentary and local knowledge of the track and area
    • Support and encouragement during the run e.g. “You’re slower than soup with chopticks!” (just kidding)
    • Different guided runs of varying difficulty – something to suit all types of runners
    • An intimate small group environment – maximum of 6 people
    • An experienced and local guide
    • Chilled water/snacks/sunscreen/insect repellent provided
    • Discounts to a leading local outdoor retailer - - Outdoor Sports Wanaka
    • Single supplement available
