Kinisi Rise & Shine Summer Run
Rise & Shine is a two-round mountain running series set amongst the spectacular alpine terrain of Cardrona and Treble Cone.
The series kicks off at Cardrona, followed one week later by the second and final race at Treble Cone. Starting from each resort’s base area, runners take on a challenging climb of between 600 and 1,200 vertical metres, racing towards the mountain peaks before descending back to the start/finish area.
Whether you’re chasing a result or simply looking for an unforgettable mountain running experience, Rise & Shine delivers big climbs, fast descents and incredible alpine scenery.
For 2026, we’re excited to confirm that the Kinisi Rise & Shine event at Treble Cone will also form part of the nationwide Kea Run Series.
The Kea Run Series brings together eight races across New Zealand, with a focus on supporting athletes, showcasing incredible destinations and strengthening the trail and mountain running community.
