Time Limit & Cut-offs 

ULTRAMARATHON

The overall time limit to complete the Hunua Hillbilly Ultramarathon course is 15 hours.

The course will close at 8pm, there are also intermediate check points along the way that you must reach in time. These have been worked out specifically around the terrain in each of the 3 sections of the course (which are all quite different) to give you the best chance of making the finish line closure at 8pm sharp.

It is worth noting that some sections of the course are much tougher/slower than others, so try and avoid cutting it too close to check point cut offs, as you may be disappointed.

All 3 cut-off’s will be strictly adhered to and as part of entering the event you agree to being withdrawn if you fail to meet an intermediary cut off or don’t reach the finish line in time. (You are however allowed to be disappointed! We would be disappointed if you were not.)  

  • Check point #1 – 22.2km – 4.5 hours/9:30am

  • Check point #2 – 42.2km – 10.5 hours/3.30pm 

  • FINISH CLOSED – 60km – 15 hours/8:00pm 

We feel that it is worth pointing out that we don’t expect everyone to make it to the finish. That is part of the allurer of this event. We want you to go into this event being ok with this fact and know that whether you make it to CP1, 2 or all the way to the finish line in time, you have done an amazing job and will still have a great day/weekend out.
