The Foundation Clinic Mauao Half Marathon is a community focused fun run/walk which traverses one of the Bay Of Plenty's most iconic natural attractions, Mauao (Mt Maunganui). It's also the inspiration for The Weetbix Challenge in our directory.
Whether a competitive off-road mountain goat runner or someone just looking for a challenge with breath-taking scenery, this event appeals to all. The course involves ascending and descending Mt Maunganui three times and three laps around the Mt Maunganui base track. The event can be completed individually or in a 3-person team (one accent/decent and once around base track each).
Foundation Sports & Rehabilitation Clinic, the driving force behind the event are also one of our epic VIP partners!
Climb any peak from our peak directory and you'll be on the leaderboard. Every time you summit a peak, even if it's the same peak, you'll increase your chances of winning!
Bonus for locals: if you summit Mauao itself, you'll get three times the points on the leaderboard!
You will need to record your runs on Strava, and have your Wild Things account linked for your peak summits to be counted.
We have a free solo and a free team entry to give away.
Remember, these are drawn as spot prizes, so anyone can win (although being higher up the leaderboard does increase your chances!)
If you're not one of the lucky winners, check out our VIP Rewards where you can grab 10% off event entry.
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.
