Tarawera Ultramarathon is an event which now includes a 102-kilometer and a 100-mile ultramarathon trail race with the inaugural even held in 2009.[1] It is held annually in Rotorua New Zealand. Awards are given to top men and women finishers in each category.

The course record in the 100-mile race is held by the Australian Vladimir Shatrov and was set in the 2020 edition in a time of 15h 53m 30s among a field of more than 1,450 entrants.[2]

Past 100km race winners include American Jim Walmsley who described the course as “extremely hot, but beautiful” upon finishing the 2017 edition which was held in February of that year; seasonal rivers, chirping cicadas, and green tree canopy decorated the course.[3]
