Tarawera Post-Race Recap & Analysis

Welcome to Freetrail's coverage of the 2025 Tarawera by UTMB! Set against the beautiful backdrop of Rotorua, NZ, an outdoor and trail sport mecca known for its rolling hills, thermal pools, and beautiful lakes, Tarawera plays host to four different race distances — 100m, 102k, 50k, & 21k. We'll be covering as much as we can from all races, with a particular focus on the 102k where four Golden Tickets to Western States are on the line.    This is our official 102k pre-race show discussing the history of Tarawera, the course, the top contenders, and our predictions for how things might unfold.   Follow along for coverage all weekend and follow us on IG for race day coverage from the course.   Thanks to HOKA for supporting the show!
