Yasur Volcano Run 2025 Packages & Registration

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Race Experience

Be part of the first-ever community-owned and led international race on an active volcano — a world-unique event hosted by the communities of East Tanna.
Organised by a Local Organising Committee (LOC) made up of tourism operators, chiefs, youth and women leaders, and transport associations, the Yasur Volcano Run is more than a race — it’s a powerful blend of adventure, cultural pride, and social impact.

Race Distances

  • 38KM – Warrior Challenge (from 18 years old)
    Approx. 950m elevation gain
  • 25KM – Elite Route (from 16 years old)
    Approx. 800m elevation gain

The Trail – From Sea to Summit

Run through some of the most stunning and diverse terrain in the Pacific:
K
White and black sand beaches
K
Rivers, waterfalls, and jungle paths
K
Ash plains and sacred caldera
K
Giant banyan forests
K
Ten welcoming communities along the route
K
Final ascent of Mount Yasur, one of the world’s most iconic active volcanoes

Pikinini Race

The Pikinini Race is a unique opportunity for one child (aged 8 to 12) to run alongside a parent, family member, or guardian in a shorter yet equally powerful race experience. Taking place in parallel with the main event, the Pikinini Race will lead duos of one adult and one child on a breathtaking journey through the Tanna landscape, finishing together at the summit of Mount Yasur. This is more than a race — it’s a shared memory, a first adventure, and a celebration of strength, support, and connection between generations. Whether you’re introducing your child to trail running or just want to create a once-in-a-lifetime family experience, the Pikinini Race is the perfect way to be part of the Yasur Run spirit.
