The track around the Blue Lake in Rotorua is very nice. About 5km, good for a quick run and the lake is good for a swim afterwards. There are toilets there.

Mountain biking in Rotorua is amazing!!!! The Redwoods have heaps of tracks of varing difficulty and are easy to navigate around. There are lots of places where you can rent bikes from. There is even a shuttle to bring you to the top.
