Race day: enjoy 85 kilometres of Old Ghost magic!

The Old Ghost Ultra is a point-to-point 85km run on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The race sells out, but we have secured some entries and have built a great tour including the race entry, accommodation in Westport itself, transfers to & from Christchurch and finishing with a recovery stay at Hanmer Springs. 

​

The race is a unique experience, with some of the most majestic forests, countless swing bridges, and running by crystal-clear rivers between cresting awe-inspiring ridgelines. Many of the race team were involved in the arduous process of building the trail, which took over 10 years and involved hours of volunteer time on hand tools - all to reveal an incredible part of New Zealand - their backyard, and the passion for the trail reverberates throughout this race experience.
