Tarawera Trailgating | Hayden Hawks, Lotti Brinks, & Ruth Croft Pre-Race Interviews

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.    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!
