Three-thousand determined competitors took part in the 13th year of the Tarawera Ultramarathon. It's four races that push competitors' bodies to the limits, testing mental strength, endurance, and stamina.
"There is the 21km, 50km, we have a 102km in the Ultra-Trail World Tour, and a 100 mile race as well, for those people who want to go for a very long time," regional director Chris Randle said.
