DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TARAWERA/KAWERAU END OF THE COURSE
62/87/102km spectators, crew and supporters - see map page 24
4 The Outlet is the first place to see your runner after the Okataina Aid Station. This requires a small 100 metre walk to see your runner,
but has limited parking space. If you travel to the Outlet to see your runner, you will not have time to also see your runner at the Tarawera
Falls Aid Station 5 .
5 Travel to the Tarawera Falls and park at Carparks 1, 2, or 3. You will need to walk in up to 1.4km to meet your runner.
6 Titoki. After The Outlet, you will have plenty of time to travel down the road to view your runner at Titoki. From the Titoki carpark area,
you have a 1.5km walk to the Aid Station to see your 102km runner, or a 1km walk to see your 62/87km runner (after they have left the
Titoki Aid Station).
7 500 metre walk to Fisherman’s Bridge.
8 200 metre walk to River Road.
Due to forest fire safety, some carparks are some distance from Aid Stations. If you wish to access some of the furthest Aid Stations,
you must be prepared to walk (remember how far your runner must travel on foot, so no whining!). The Tarawera Forest is private land. The
forest owners can prevent private cars from entering the forest on race day. This will be enforced by forest security.
Kawerau Finish-line
The Kawerau finish-line is on Firmin Field, Waterhouse Street, Kawerau. This is next to the Tarawera River. You will be instructed where to
park.
Tarawera Forest Permits
A forest permit is needed if you take a car into the Tarawera Forest (this includes any Aid Station between The Outlet and River Road).
Runners do not need permits, only cars. Each car will need to get a forest permit from the Kawerau Information Centre before entering
the Tarawera Forest. There are three ways to do this:
1. Fill out the form online.
www.kawerauonline.co.nz/permits/request
2. At registration
3. Fill in the form in your race registration pack. There will be spare copies at race registration. You can get your permit issued at race
registration.
4. Get and complete the form at the Kawerau Information Centre on race day. You will still get a permit but it will likely take a lot longer.
If you do not have a permit, Forest Security will prevent you from entering the Tarawera Forest. Please be courteous to Forest Security on
race day – they have an important job to do and it is a privilege for all of us to be able to access this land, which is both commercially and
culturally important.
