The Aorangi Undulator one-day and A100 day-2 events start at the
entrance to the Mangatoetoe valley on the South Wairarapa coast.
It
takes about 2.5 hours to drive there from Wellington Central.
From
Wellington head NE through the Hutt Valley and over the Rimutaka Hill
to Featherston.
From Featherston take the right fork onto SH53,
heading SE.
After 5.5km turn S (right) onto Kahatura Road. Follow
this until you hit Lake Ferry Road.
Follow Lake Ferry Road SW then
turn left onto Cape Palliser Road.
You will eventually reach the
coast and pass the Putangirua Pinnacles entrance, which is where the
race finishes. Continue on Lake Ferry Road to Ngawi.
Continue past
Ngawi for 3.5km and look for the Mangatoetoe valley park entrance signs
on the left.
People doing the 3 day Aorangi 100 event will need to book accommodation somewhere between Putangirua Pinnacles and Mangatoetoe, or stay at Pinnacles Camp Ground or Ngawi Campground. At 5:30-6:00am on Saturday morning the event transport van will travel to the start via those locations and pick people up by the road or at the campsites.
