Did you know that the Mōkihinui-Lyell Backcountry Trust also owns and operates the Rough and Tumble Bush Lodge?
The Lodge is located right at the Northern trailhead, and proceeds go directly towards supporting The Old Ghost Road. So, if you’re planning a visit to the trail this coming season, we hope you’ll consider staying or visiting the Lodge cafe at either end of your journey.
We receive an outstanding amount of feedback sharing how the Rough and Tumble has nourished OGR adventurers with friendly smiles, fresh homestyle meals, and perhaps even a hot bush shower.
Bookings are open for the upcoming season, starting October 1st. We hope to see you soon!
No plans for this Easter weekend? Come walk the OGR!
We have had spaces come available last minute - best suited to a walking journey starting from Lyell trailhead on Saturday the 4th of April.
Please visit our website for all necessary information and to book your spot. See you out there!

💥AUTHENTIC. That’s the first word that comes to mind when you run the Old Ghost Ultra. But what makes it truly authentic?
It’s the spirit of the West Coast—the rugged landscapes, the untamed trails, and, most of all, the people. For nearly 10 years, this race has been more than just an ultra; it’s a community. Year after year, volunteers, runners, and supporters keep showing up, bringing their grit, passion, and West Coast spirit to make this event what it is.
One race. The place. The people. A lifetime of memories. 🔥
