Turn up to the Tarawera T102 prepared.
The Tarawera 100k is one of the most popular ultra-distance trail events in the Southern Hemisphere. With a mix of flowing singletrack, native forest, river crossings, and world-class support — it’s a truly special experience.
Training for 100km is both exciting and demanding. To help you train smart all the way to race day, we’ve developed a Tarawera 100k-specific training plan.
Runners often enter Tarawera full of motivation, but end up over-training, getting injured, or peaking too early. To avoid overdoing it — or underpreparing — the best way to approach your training is with a structured plan that carefully guides your progression in volume, elevation, and intensity.
This plan has been specifically designed to help you show up at Tarawera 2025 feeling strong, prepared, and ready to achieve your personal best.

What our members say
I attempted the KosciMiler in 2023 but had it called it at 130km. In 2024,
I came back stronger – both physically and mentally and finished my first
miler in 28 hours and 30 mins. It was a solid test of my endurance and a
great training run for the UTAMiler in May 2025. Now, I have a clearer plan
for how to improve and be even better prepared for the next race
Parker Liang
I really, really loved it. My first 100km, it was an epic adventure running in snow for the first part (ankle deep in some parts) and in places I’ve never been before, and the scenery was so beautiful. The volunteers were all amazing, and it was all very well organised. I spent the day after the race going up to the top of Kosci and I can’t imagine how different the event would be with that massive climb on a hot day, a different experience again! Highly recommend the event to anyone it was very enjoyable, and it’s a stunning part of Australia.

I really appreciate everything I have learnt from you over the years. Really wish I had your help and knowledge when I was in my 20s over-training, getting injured all the time, peaking before orienteering races and believing I could eat whatever because I could just burn it off.

Frequently asked questions
Is this program suitable for a beginner?
This plan is designed for runners stepping up to the 100km distance for the first time. You should have at least 2 years of consistent training under your belt and be comfortable running a 20km long run on trails. You should be running 40–45km per week, including hilly terrain . Over 16 weeks, this plan will gradually build your endurance, climbing strength, and resilience while prioritising injury prevention and recovery. You’ll work on pacing, nutrition, mental strategy, and how to manage fatigue across a long day on the trails. Beginner runners are aiming to complete the event with a strong, steady effort — treating it as a personal challenge and an unforgettable adventure.
Can you help me train when I'm injured?
Probably, depending on your injury. We are very sorry to hear you are injured. We know how difficult that can be. If you have an injury that requires some rest from running, there are almost always some cross-training options available to help you maintain your fitness, strength, and sanity. By cross-training while you are injured, and including some simple strength, stretching and foam rolling routines, you will speed up your recovery time and ultimately make your return to running easier and more successful.rnrnYou can start our free 4 week cross training plan now for FREE. It will help you to identify appropriate exercises based on your injury type and recommend what cross training methods will work best for your injury. When you are ready you can start our 10-week return to running program or one of our run-specific rehab plans.
Can I start this program late?
You get immediate access to your training plan when you join. You can view the current week plus any previous weeks. We recommend that you start with a weekly volume that your body is currently able to cope with, which might mean starting on the beginner level before moving to intermediate a few weeks later.
