Vertical Metres Climbed
The MCL Construction Triple Peaks on 25th February is an opportunity to have an off-road adventure in the heart of the Hawkes Bay. A spectacular 55km course over a mixture of private and public land includes breathtaking views, river crossings, and a mixture of trails, and farm tracks.
Choose your course distance from one (20k), two (40k), or three (55k) peaks, or compete in a team, with live music, a free locally designed event T-shirt, and all proceeds going towards the Te Mata Peak trust.
Taking on the Triple Peaks also means over 2,000 vertical metres, so this challenge is about just that - get as much vert as you can in a fortnight, starting on Monday 30th January.
Every (almost, see * below) vertical metre you climb whilst running (or walking or crawling) gets you an entry into the spot prize draw, and higher up the leaderboard. It doesn't matter where you run, just chuck in that extra little hill ⛰️
* the elevation gain from your activity must be at least triple digits (so that's 100m+) to count!
We have a Ledlensers NEO5R Headlamp and a free entry to the MCL Construction Triple Peaks on 25th February up for grabs.
Both are awarded as spot prizes, with each point on the leaderboard getting you an entry into the random draw!
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.
