Te Araroa, The Long Pathway

Jez Bragg, the ultimate New Zealand adventure

Te Araroa is a 3000-km trail stretching from Cape Reinga in the North of New Zealand to Bluff in the South. The trail opened December 3rd, 2011.

In December 2012, The North Face athlete Jez Bragg will emabark on the ultimate New Zealand adventure running the entire 3000km’s of the trail. Down the coastline, through the forests, across farmland, over volcanoes and mountain passes, along river valleys, and on green pathways through seven cities. It’s one of the longest walking routes in the world. Hundreds of volunteers worked over ten years to put the trail in because it wasn’t there.

We wish Jez all the very best and Talk Ultra will follow his story as it unfolds with regular audio updates every two weeks on our show plus updates via this blog as and when applicable.

Full details and news about Jez’s attempt will be updated asap after the Press Conference. Talk Ultra also plan to get some audio live the PC with Jez so that he can tell you all in his own words about the challenge ahead.
