Waitomo: The most spectacular off-road run in NZ?

We are spoilt for choice in New Zealand when it comes to scenic attractions.

But the spots are often thought of as tourist attractions rather than a place for Kiwis to enjoy.

I put on my running shoes to go deep underground into what may be the most spectacular off-road run in the country – Waitomo Trail Run.

It's the country's newest off-road run with some of the most incredible scenery you will ever see; both above and below ground.

The caves are extremely sensitive so there is a delicate balance between protecting the environment and letting runners experience it.

Story went to discover what is often perceived as a tourist destination and get a glimpse of a tiny part of a gigantic underground network.
