The Luxmore Grunt (27km) plus the sister race the Kepler Challenge is held on the Kepler Track in Fiordland National Park, part of the South Westland World Heritage Area.

The event is organized by a voluntary committee with the support, on race day, of approximately 200 Te Anau residents. This gives the event a truly "community" feel.

Limited to 150 competitors over 16 years of age in the Grunt and 400 over 18 years of age in the Challenge, the event fills in very quick time when it opens "online" on the first Saturday in July each year. The events attract a wide range of competitors in both nationality and age groups.

The nature of the event for the majority is as the name suggests a personal challenge.
