Creating unforgettable outdoor experiences

We believe the best adventures are the ones shared together.

At Barefoot Events, we believe that great events are about more than the finish line. They're about bringing people together, exploring incredible places, and creating experiences that inspire people to get outside and challenge themselves. From first-time participants to seasoned athletes, everyone is welcome at our events.

Born from a passion for New Zealand's spectacular landscapes and vibrant outdoor community, Barefoot Events creates and supports trail runs, road races, triathlons, community events, and adventure experiences across the country. Every event is designed with the same commitment to exceptional organisation, friendly atmosphere, and unforgettable locations.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, taking on your first event, or simply enjoying an active day out with family and friends, you'll find a welcoming community waiting for you. Our goal is simple: to inspire Kiwis through events that take your breath away and create lasting memories on every course.

Every event is built on three simple principles:

• 

  Outstanding organisation

• 

  A welcoming community
