Running Time
These times are different, so is this challenge.
It can be a bit boring running the same loops from your front door, so why not make a challenge out of it?
Open to all VIPs (you don't need to have the Wild Challenger Add-on), any loop or out and back run within the Auckland lockdown region counts.
Auckland lockdown region:
It's a bit tricky to be 100% accurate, so the general rule of thumb is within 80km of central Auckland.
Loop or Out and Back:
The start and finish must be within 500m of each other. They do not need to be on a trail directory route, nor include a peak.
Outside Auckland?
Technically, yes, you can join this challenge, but unless you can sneak in a run within 80km of Sky Tower, you might not get very far up the leaderboard!
SPOT PRIZE:
On completion of the challenge, we will draw a spot prize winner - every minute of running earns you one chance in the end-of-challenge draw.
The winner will receive:
INSTAGRAM PRIZE:
We also have another $50 to spend in the Wild Things shop to give away as an Instagram prize!
At the end of the challenge, we will select one photo which best summarises running in lockdown that has posted to Instagram during the challenge period using the hashtag #wildthingslockdown.
No worries — you can join a Wild Challenge at any time while it's running.
When you join, we'll automatically award any challenge points you've earned since the challenge started, so you won't miss out just because you joined late.
If you've only just connected Strava or Garmin, we'll sync your last three months of activities too, so eligible activities can still count towards the challenge.
Connect your Strava or Garmin account to Wild Things and we'll automatically sync your activities and add any that qualify to the challenge.
You don't need to add activities manually — just get out there and do your thing! Each challenge has its own criteria for earning points, so check the challenge details above to see what counts.
If you use both Strava and Garmin, you can connect both — we won't create duplicate activities.
Absolutely. You can join as many Wild Challenges as you like, and the same activity can earn points across multiple challenges if it meets the criteria for each one.
We usually draw challenge winners a few days after the challenge finishes. We wait at least 2–3 days to allow any late activities to sync from Strava or Garmin before finalising the results.
If you're a winner, we'll get in touch with you directly.
