The Goat Tongariro is the stuff of legends - a truly gnarly run across the slopes of the North Island's tallest mountain.
This Challenge sets you the goal of doing as many gnarly runs from the Wild Things Directory (those with a Gnarl Factor of 60+) as you can.
Taking part will get you Goat fit for the race in January and could also win you a reimbursement of your entry fee + more!
How to earn Challenge Points:
Track your progress and standing on the Challenge Leaderboard.
The more Challenge Points you earn the better your chances of winning one of the Major Prizes.
Post pics from your runs to your Instagram account using the hashtag #thegoattrailchallenge to be in to win bonus prizes.
TAKE CARE OUT THERE: These runs are gnarly and it's winter. Please go properly prepared (see the Suggested Gear List under 'Staying Safe' on trail guides) and always let somebody know where you are going and when you expect to be back.
