"Don't miss being part of the Annual New Balance Great Lake Relay around the largest lake in Australasia - Lake Taupo. Renown as being the best team building exercise of all time, the ultimate Team Relay has been described by participants as the most social and scenic event in New Zealand.

"Each year, around 4500 participants cover the 155km course. Each team consists of 10 to 18 members, either running or walking the entire distance around Lake Taupo.

"An exciting addition introduced in 2010 was the Nature Valley Length of the Lake Taupo catering for teams of five to eight who can run or walk to complete the eight legs from Pukawa on the southern end of the lake back to Taupo."

See Miles Coverdale if you're interested in joining an (unofficial) Olympic team.
