Hey for anyone interested, Shane (the guy organising this crazed event) just sent me an email update on the event:

A group of us ran and walked over the Mukumuku Course this last Saturday and we learned a few things. They are:

1. It is actually the Mukamuka Stream and valley (note the 'a' instead of the 'u')
2. The course is awesome. Everybody rated it and regarded it as possibly the best C2C training run in Wellington
3. That it can be done at a fast walk in the 5 hour mark
4. That the fastest runners could cut it out in around 2 hours 30 minutes
5. That Vodafone coverage is non existent but Telecom Mobile has good coverage most of the way around the coast and on the hills
6. That I need to go back in and mark the last km up the Valley to the Saddle
7. That the hardest part of the race is that last hill on the Orongorongo Track back up to the carpark
8. That I would be hit by each and every competitor if I made you run from the top carpark down to the DOC office to finish

I captured the route on GPS and will send out a bitmap image once I have loaded it into my mapping software to those that are interested. If you
want to join me on another trip through the course let me know and I'll publish a date.

Thanks,
Shane.
