The Rab Hill Climb

1st April 2022 to 30th June 2022

Challenge Type: Flash Challenge

Challenge Goal: Vertical Metres Climbed

Open Challenge: Open to all VIPs

About the Challenge:

This challenge is based on a single trail from the trail directory - the trail you choose.

Any run (or walk) which involves part of your chosen trail will count, and the elevation from the entire run will be counted. You do not need to run it in full as described in the Trail Directory.

So, do you choose something really accessible and close by, which you can hit multiple times? Or do you go further afield for more available vert? Choose wisely, because once chosen, you can't change your trail*.

The more vertical metres climbed during April, May, and June on your chosen trail, the higher up the leaderboard you'll get.

We have a spot prize to giveaway for each region. This is the region of the trails selected, so will this sway your trail choice too?

This challenge is open to all VIPs and all Wild Challengers.

*If the trail closes during the challenge, or you move away, email us asking nicely and we might allow you to swap.

Challenge Prizes:

Thanks to Rab, The Mountain People, we have a huge $3,200 worth of vouchers to give away.

The trail directory is broken down into 16 regions across New Zealand, so one $200 Rab voucher will be awarded as a spot prize to a runner in each region.

Remember, these are spot prizes; anyone can win, so get involved!

Note, this is the region of the trails, not the member.
