Shuttle Information
optional Shuttle bus
What is the shuttle bus?
For an additional $5, add our convenient shuttle bus service to your entry. The shuttle bus takes you from the finish line venue in the heart of Rotorua, to your start line on the edge of the forest.
How else can I get to the start line?
Alternatives include getting dropped off by your supporters, cycling or walking to your start. Participant car parking is limited or prohibited at the start line venues - check your event distance information.
What about my stuff?
We have a drop bag service available for all to use, so your gear you don't take running can meet you back at the finish line, such as coats and wallets.
