Saturday 23 August – Aniseed Accent

a unique once only trail running event
taking runners deep into the heart of the
Tasman Pine Forests estate up the Aniseed Valley
Two challenging courses (10km & 20km)
along dirt forestry roads wind their way through a
dramatic landscape of pine-clad hills.
The Aniseed Ascent is an exclusive chance to race on
land not normally open to the public,
making it a must-do for trail runners looking to test themselves
on scenic and seldom-trodden ground.
The event is a fundraiser for Athletics Nelson club member
Dougal Shepherd to attend the World Mountain Running Champs in Spain.
Unfortunately Athletics NZ provides no financial support
for athletes travelling, so by racing you are assisting getting
Dougal to the Pyrenees!
