            Running the Routeburn Track

            To celebrate Chris’ birthday a group of 17 took on Routeburn. The 32km trail is the shortest of New Zealand’s Great Walks and one of the best-known. A large group makes logistics easier: we booked a shuttle to take us from Queenstown to The Divide and had some non-runners willing to meet us at the other end.

We had an early start from Queenstown as it's almost 4 hours to drive to The Divide
