The Whiskey Creek Challenge Course starts at Dolamore Park. It goes in a clockwise direction and first follows the road away from the top carpark for 50m before entering the bush and following the Waimumu Stream and over the bridge and about 1 km uphill. It continues along the contour with a few ups and downs making it's way slowly up to the highest point above Whiskey Creek. Descending down to the bridge over the Whiskey Creek at the waterfall it then follows the old water race built in 1886 until it descends all the way down to Domain Road Carpark. From here it is a gentle descent along the new Waterrace Trail all the way back to Dolamore Park. Exactly 5km and approximately 200m elevation.
