Arron and Kelly’s Tarawera 100

UPDATE: Due to an injury to Kelly, Arron’s now running on his own.  On February 14th 2026, we’re running the Tarawera 100 – a 100 MILE ultra-marathon. Are we crazy? Maybe … This is the biggest run we’ve ever done … and will probably ever do.

On February 14th 2026, we’re running the Tarawera 100 – a 100 MILE ultra-marathon. Are we crazy? Maybe … This is the biggest run we’ve ever done … and will probably ever do.
We’re feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation as we step into this adventure, fully aware it will be a genuine test of our resilience.
Arron, who worked at the New Zealand Spinal Trust (NZST) in the early 2000s, witnessed extraordinary courage and determination from individuals navigating life with acquired spinal cord injuries. That experience left a lasting impression.
This journey is our way of supporting the kaupapa and mahi of NZST, to give back, to honour, and to acknowledge the strength and resolve of those who have inspired us.
