About

The Shotover Moonlight Mountain Marathon is a mountain trail race near Queenstown, New Zealand, held on 19 and 20 February 2027, with distances from 10 km to a 56 km ultra, including a trail marathon and half marathon.

The marathon starts at the Pipeline Bridge over the Shotover River and finishes at the Ben Lomond Station woolshed near Lake Moke. The course first follows the Shotover River past old gold-dredging equipment, then tracks the waterways above Stoney and Murphy creeks before taking farm tracks above the Moonlight River and Moke Creek to the woolshed. Along the way runners enjoy views of beech forest, mountains, bluffs and ridgelines, open grassland and a 360° mountain panorama.
