NZ Trail Running
Champs |
The New
Zealand Trail Running Champs has no fixed location. It is one of only
three championships to never have a standalone event of
its own, the others being the Half Marathon and Marathon
Champs. Athletics NZ
always host it as a sub-event within an existing event.
While the ANZ competition have provided
for a National Trail Running Championships for many events,
the National Championship did not come into being until
2018. Christchurch's Crater Rim Ultra were the inaugural
hosts.
In 2022, a long course championship was added.
It is not yet known whether this will remain in 2023.
