So you've thinking about doing one of the two exciting multi-day events at the Hut 2 Hut Trail Festival. Brilliant, but which one is right for you? Well here is some info about the MANIC Multi Day and the Muti Day Half Miler to help make choosing a little easier.
The Manic Multi Day is made up of four races across three days:
Bobs Round on the Friday of the event.
Archies 50 and a new surprise on the Saturday of the event.
Bellas 10km on the Sunday of the event.
Competitors will compete in a total of 118km over the three days. Each race will have its own set of mandatory gear that you need to carry with Bobs Round and Archies 50 needing the most. You will need to bring all of your mandatory gear with you to race registration on the Thursday or Friday morning before you are given your race bib.
The Manic Multi-Day is a great way to try multi-day racing and a new way to for Oscars 100 competitors to smash out a hundy in a different way. Each of the races have very generous cut-off times (15 hours for Bobs Round and Archies 50 and 2.5 hours for Bellas 10) so it's the prefect multi-day for those who want to smash it out and those who want to enjoy the scenery and fill in the weekend.
Now there has to be a reason we call it the Manic Multi day right? As you can see there is a mystery 8km race packed in there. This will be a Saturday night run kicking off at 7.30pm. So yep, you've done just on 100km with 5800m of elevation so we thought you'd like a little more. More info on this run will be available soon.
As a bonus, if you do happen to miss a cut off time in any of the races you can still race the next day. You don't get an official finish time but you can enjoy your whole weekend.

REFUND POLICY - 75% of your entry fees is refunded if you withdraw from the event, for any reason, prior to October 1st, 2026. 50% of your entry fees is refunded if you withdraw from the event, for any reason, prior to December 24th, 2026. 25% of your entry fees is refunded if you withdraw from the event, for any reason, prior to January 14th, 2027. No refunds are issued after January 14th, 2027.
Not as manic as the MANIC Multi Day but still a big challenge. If you want to give multi-day racing a go, but running 100km over two days isn't something you fancy, then the Multi day Half Miler is for you.
This years Multi Day Half Miler shakes things up a little so those who enjoyed it in 2026 will find something new this year. You'll tick off approx 89km with a whole sway of vert included along the way over the three days across 4 events.
The brand new Bobs Round on the Friday of the event.
Lalas 23 and the mystery 8km night run on the Saturday
And Bellas 10 on the Sunday.
As with the MANIC Multi Day you've got a busy Saturday but, unlike them, you won't have a 50km you need to finish ahead of the cut off time so you're back in time for the start of the new Saturday night run starting at 7.30pm (now you see why it's called MANIC).
As a bonus, if you do happen to miss a cut off time in any of the races, you can still race the next day. You don't get an official finish time but you can enjoy your whole weekend.
