Vertical Metres Climbed
Rocky at Further Faster is slightly masochistic, and that's a good thing. It was his idea to create a challenge for the Christchurch locals to see how much climbing they can do on the infamous Pipeline track and its back for 2024!
The more vertical metres climbed during February and March on the Pipeline track, the higher up the leaderboard you'll get.
Any run (or walk or crawl) which involves part of the Pipeline track will count. You do not need to run it in full as described in the Trail Directory; if you just want to go up and down on one side over and over again, that's fine!
Any Wild Challenger can join this challenge, but being a Christchurch local will no doubt help!
We have a $250 Further Faster voucher to give away to the top male and female at the end of the challenge.
A third $250 Further Faster voucher will go to the person who clocks up the mount vertical metres on the Pipeline track in a single day! This will no doubt get interesting towards the end! Again, any run (or walk or crawl) which involves part of the Pipeline track will count here.
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.
