Getting there/Transport options
- Driving from Wellington - Either drive your own car, share a car with others, or hire/share a hire car. It takes roughly 1 hour to drive to Featherston from the Airport. Feel free to post on the WAI run fest FB group page if you are looking for others to share a car, or if you need a ride.
- Train - There is a train service from Wellington Train Station to Featherston. From here it is 5km to the race course. We may be organising a shuttle service for this 5km leg. Yet TBC.
- Bus - There is a bus service that takes you from Wellington, and this can drop you off outside the race course.
The Tauherenikau Race course
The WAI2K starts/finishes at this location, and this area will be used as a base for the weekend.
The Tin Hut Bar and restaurant is a good option for dinner and drinks in the evening also, and is right next door (walking distance) to the race course.
If you can stay here, I would recommend it! LINK HERE
