Stage 8
“Takitimu Traverse”
Stage 8: A big stage for the latter part of the race with teams facing a west to east traverse of the Takitimu Mountains. Teams have a decision to make early on in their route selection to Telford Hut. Go high and do more altitude gain. Go low and a bit longer, picking up the trail up the Telford River. After the Telford Hut, teams will get high and have a chance to survey the majestic mountains of this range. There is a Short Course cut off with teams needing to depart before 6am Tuesday to continue on the Full Course. Teams departing after 6am Wednesday will become Unranked and miss stage 7.
