Mid Monty – 22km Run

Course Description

The Mid Monty is a course that’ll test even the seasoned runner! The Mid Monty course takes participants from Long Bay along the beach and rocky coastline to Browns Bay and on to Milford. (Note: There are some small swimming sections throughout the first few kms and some very slippery rocks, too.) Once arriving at Milford you’ll have a short wade or swim across the estuary mouth before getting back on your feet and heading south again along Milford Beach. Once around the rocky trail and along Takapuna and Cheltenham Beaches you’re then on the final home stretch (only 1km of pavement!) to Windsor Reserve in Devonport. A great course and adventure, with a tad more water interaction than the two shorter courses!

From: Long Bay – Southern end of Long Bay
