The Hātea Run Night Series is a collection of running events that occur during the winter in various locations around Whangarei. The third race in the series, the Mair Park Whareora Vale Trifecta, is scheduled for 2 July 2025.
The race begins in Mair Park and follows a course that descends to the river, travels past a local duck habitat, and turns right after crossing a bridge. The route then proceeds to the shoe cleaning station at Vale road before retracing its steps along the trail to Whareora road. The final leg of the race is a sprint back along the trail.
Given that this event takes place after sundown, participants are required to bring a headlight or torch. Without adequate illumination, participation is not allowed.
