THE 2025 TRAIL COURSES ARE HERE!!
This year, all trail events will start in the heart of Nelson’s CBD, head down Trafalgar Street, and link with the Maitai River Trail before heading into the hills – the perfect showcase of just how close our beautiful city is to its epic trail network!
On each trail event page on our website, you’ll now find:
👉 An updated course map with aid station locations
👉 GPX file downloads
👉 A link to Strava with a detailed map and elevation profile
We’ve also updated the Race Day Info page with more info on drop bags, aid stations and pacers.
Check it all out at thespectacle.co.nz
Please note: courses may be subject to minor changes due to slips or other factors between now and December, but we’ll keep them as close to the published versions as possible.
