IML - New Zealand
Rotorua Walking Festival
"The Rotorua Walking Festival" is the IML march of New Zealand.
This notable event occurs in and around the charming city of Rotorua, situated on the North Island approximately a three-hour drive from Auckland.
Rotorua is renowned for its tourist attractions, boasting stunning natural landscapes. From picturesque lakes to majestic mountains and expansive forests, the region also showcases abundant geothermal activity, characterized by unique-smelling hot springs...
The initial day of the march predominantly features forest trekking in the mountains, where the sight of enormous ferns resembling trees leaves a lasting impression.
On the subsequent day of the march, the route meanders through the town of Rotorua, passing by numerous steaming lakes and pungent hot springs...
Throughout both days, multiple rest stops offer refreshments like water and juice, although additional catering services are regrettably unavailable.
The organization of the march is commendable, with local residents extending a warm and friendly Kiwi welcome to all participants.
