Address: After a controlled 3km bunch ride through the township of Thames, the 22km MTB leg travels up the Kauaeranga Valley Road, past the DOC HQ (beware of road spikes here!) to the road end. There are three fords along the road. The mountain run begins climbing almost immediately, following old kauri logging and pack-horse trails, past the Pinnacles and on to the summit (race record to summit 1hr). There is then a steady descent down to the east, with several more, shorter climbs and a 9km section of 4WD track and gravel road to finish the run at Coroglen. Into the kayak, there is one small rapid to negotiate before paddling 17km to Cooks Beach, via the Whitianga Harbour Mouth. The final leg for the day is a 28km cycle leg from Cooks Beach to Tairua.

2 We start day 2 with a 15km kayak from Tairua Wharf to Hikuai. This is a deep water start, heading up the harbour and into the Tairua River for the final 10km of the journey. On to the road bike and up over the hill to Whangamata. Finishing at the southern end of Whangamata (on the main road) outside the school. Running alongside the main road for approx. 1km, then turning right into Wentworth Valley Rd, it is 4km along the gravel road to the bush tracks. Up the hill past the waterfall and onto the Maratoto Track. The descent is steady and fast for about 20 minutes to the carpark at the Maratoto ford. It is then a left turn, and 600 metres up to the transition on the main road. The final cycle from Maratoto to the Thames Sailing Club is predominantly flat, but just like the Coast to Coast, beware of the head wind that sometimes greets you at the end of a hard weekend!
Finish at the Thames Sailing Club. Sausage sizzle, a few beers and a prize giving at 4pm.
