From fern-fringed forest paths to high-alpine ridgelines, New Zealand is made for trail runners. Compact distances hide a world of variety, where one day you can trot beneath towering redwoods and the next you are cresting a volcanic saddle with emerald lakes gleaming below.

Use this guide to plan a North and South Island road trip that strings together memorable running trails, from easy coastal loops to bucket-list alpine traverses.
