Past Ventures: Queen Charlotte Track Adventure Run

Location: Marlborough Sounds

Distance: 56km Adventure Run

After 10 weeks of training, our adventurous group of women gathered in Picton to kick off the Queen Charlotte Track Adventure Run. The weekend started with a group dinner and gear prep before an early start the next morning. On a fresh, stunning morning, we hopped on the water taxi to Furneaux Lodge, lucky enough to be greeted by dolphins along the way. From there, we tackled 56km of breathtaking Marlborough Sounds terrain, winding through lush native forest, soaking in sweeping views, and running past sparkling bays under perfect blue skies. The journey took just over 10 hours and was filled with teamwork, encouragement, and plenty of smiles. We finished back in Picton with a well-earned pizza debrief, celebrating an unforgettable weekend and a truly inspiring group of women. It was a perfect reminder of what’s possible with preparation, perseverance, and great company on the trails.
