WALK-RUN-BIKE RUAPEHU • Peak summer in Ruapehu means the mountains are calling and the rivers are flowing. Here are some top places and stunning spaces to get out and about in Ruapehu's Greater Outdoors. An absolute mecca for walkers, runners and bikers - there are over 50 trails and tracks to discover within an hour's driving radius in the Ruapehu region. And with a stellar line up of sporting events this season, it's the perfect time to plan your active holiday here.

BUSINESS, GROWTH & LIFESTYLE • THE RISE OF RUAPEHU DISTILLERY

TWO KIWI BIRDS • Ella and Charlotte call themselves Two Kiwi Birds. Two young adventurers who pack more courage than cash, chasing adventure on an undersized budget with oversized dreams. Not the glossy influencer version either. They capture the real stuff. Saddle sores, wet socks, wrong turns, laughter around a cheap camp stove, and the strange comfort that comes with realising you are figuring out life outdoors as you go.

WALKING ON THE WILDSIDE • AUSTRALIA'S NEXT GREAT ADVENTURES ON FOOT

THE KEPLER CHALLENGE • The Kepler Challenge is New Zealand's premier mountain ultra-running race. It is a 60k race that has been held since 1988 over the Kepler Track, one of NZs great walks in the Fiordland National Park. Usually, it is a 4 day hike and runners knock it out in anything from 4.5 to 12 hours. It is held on the first Saturday of December and is contested by 450 athletes. Gaining entry to this race is a feat in itself, with over 1000 hopefuls attempting an online entry on the first Saturday of July at 6:30am. I had last run the race in 2023 and missed out in 2024 due to my poor computer skills. I had been disappointed with my first race effort and had a goal of running a perfect race. Having secured an entry I wanted to use this event as a steppingstone to the Old Ghost Ultra that I will be running in February.

INSIDERS GUIDE TO THE PACIFIC • The South Pacific is a region this magazine knows well. We have spent decades moving through its islands, coastlines and backcountry not as spectators, but as travellers who value access, local knowledge and experience over surface level highlights.
