1st July 2023 to 31st July 2023
Flash Challenge
Number of runs
A joint fundraiser for Kaikoura High School and Kaikoura Lions Club, the Kaikōura Mountains to Sea Marathon on Saturday October 21st 2023 has an elevation gain of 392m, so for this Wild Challenge, any run, walk or hike you do with a maximum elevation gain of 392m will count!
A run with 393m of elevation gain? Nope, no challenge points sorry!
This could lead to an interestingly different leaderboard 😊
You don't need to be on a trail from our Trail Directory; anywhere counts, and as this is a Number of Runs challenge, each time you get out there, the higher up the leaderboard you'll find yourself.
If you also take on the Kaikōura Mountains to Sea Marathon, they have quite a selection of prizes and possibly more to come... including a Gin Tour + complimentary bottle of gin at Mt Fyffe Distillery (featured on Country Calendar recently), free stays in Kaikoura accommodation, ski passes at Mt Lyford (between Hanmer and Kaikoura), a group pass for Hanmer Springs Pools, a Jet boating pass with Hanmer Attractions, vouchers for Further Faster, some stash from Shoe Clinic, vouchers for shopping in Kaikoura and two mounted photographic prints of Kaikoura. Plus, every finisher gets a medal!! ;)
We have an epic stash of prizes, worth $880!
We also have some epic spot prizes:
These will be drawn randomly at the end of the challenge.
If you have already entered, but then win a free entry, you'll get your entry fee back!
