Welcome to The Backcountry Runner- New Zealand’s Alternative Running Resource!
Thanks for visiting us at The Backcountry Runner. We are new (obviously, this is our first post) but have big ideas of what we want to bring to the trail, mountain and ultra running community of New Zealand. There are some great websites/blogs around covering the racing scene, but they are not New Zealand focused, great content and news, but not about what’s going on in NZ. There are also some great race focused NZ based websites around, they cover a variety of great sports, but lack the off road running focus that our sport deserves! Thanks to Paul Petch for the killer website and logo design!
Hopefully as this web site develops over time we can provide (maybe with your help) the coverage and focus that trail, mountain and ultra running deserves in New Zealand. New Zealand is after all, as we all know, the best place for this kind of running!
