Runner-to-runner local trail knowledge
Duncan is a regular running around the awesome Dunedin trail network. He's been busy running all the trails recently to create the website of trails. Come in for an injury and leave with inspiration for where you'll be running next. His favourite loop on a weekday is Nicols around Flagstaff & down the Pineapple combining the views and also stunning native bush. Then at the weekend getting out into the Silverpeaks with Rosella Ridge being his new must do.
