Trail Trilogy HAURAKI 50Five
Calculated from 55 km alone — the organiser has not published an elevation profile. Read 2.8 as a floor, not a verdict.
What the course asks
DUV results for the 2025 edition (55km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
Typical conditions, October
Regional 2001-2020 average for October — NASA POWER, grid elevation 50 m. Not a forecast.
