Signposted as a 21km Mountain Bike loop.
From the mountain bike park entrance, enter the forest. The route initially climbs a bit. There are four 'peaks' in the run but they are relatively small, the run is undulating throughout and there are lots of twists and turns. If you have the route loaded on your watch it will be more straightforward to follow.
Beautiful forest, very peaceful, No big vistas, but nice flowing forest trails.
If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.
Plenty of parking at the sports ground. Dogs allowed on leash.

No water access.
The trails seem to drain reasonably well. Trail shoes recommended for grip. There may occasionally be a fallen tree to climb over.
BYO
There's nothing at the mountain bike part itself so recommend bringing a hot flask and something yummy for afterwards.

My computer had a glitch. I wanted to add that forest harvesting will be commencing sometime in 2024 so check the Tokoroa mountain bike facebook page for any updates as some tracks may be closed. Dogs are allowed in cougar park -under control . There is a toilet at the car park and a water fountain at the start by the shelter and park map.

Review from a local here - Cool you have added this to Wild Things! Runners thinking of doing this loop just bear in mind that is first and foremost a MTB track and though it is usually not too busy, Please be considerate and aware of mtbikers at all times. if you come during week day its likely youll have the place to your self. This is also part of the Cougar long course so you can always enter as an event and that will make directions of getting around the park such a breeze. hiiss

Coincidentally (?) happens to be the same course as the Cougar Half Marathon course. That being said it is a really awesome run.

These overlap with this trail to some degree. You may wish to combine them but please note that to qualify for FKTs on these runs you should record a separate activity for each.
