6 hours | 7.3km lakefront loop | As many laps as possible | Solo or teams of 2-6 | Walk or run
Back for its second year - an endurance event shaped by movement, connection, and purpose.
Pillar to Pou returns to the Taupō lakefront on Saturday 13 June 2026, inviting runners and walkers of all levels to take on a 7.3km loop from the Pillar (Two Mile Bay Sailing Club) to the Pou (Te Ātea Tapuaeharuru) and back- as many times as possible in six hours.
Go solo to test your limits. Or team up with 2 to 6 people and share the challenge, lap by lap.
Whether you're chasing a PB, building team spirit, or stepping into your first event, this course - and this community - will meet you where you are.
Entries are now open. Tiered pricing applies - don’t miss the early window.

And for the next generation - Pillar to Pou Pioneers is back.
Our dedicated kids’ event (ages 4-15) happens on Friday, 12 June, giving young athletes a course of their own.
Same lakefront magic. Same finish line feeling. Just earlier in the weekend.
