The Wild For Nature Charitable Trust is the owner and organiser of The WILD Epic Mountain Runs. Its stated purpose is “to encourage people of all abilities to pursue adventurous activities on foot and by doing so to benefit both themselves and the natural environment”
After an epic success last year, the Trust has teamed up with Wild Things to bring this challenge back to its members. Are you ready to get out there and start bagging peaks during 2024?!
It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you do this, just so long as it’s done on foot.
Your challenge is to run or walk up as many of the peaks listed in the Wild Things directory as you can between Feb 1st and 30th April 2024. Please note - all peaks listed in the directory qualify.
NB each peak only counts once, no matter how many times you climb it. The idea is to have as many new adventures as possible, not repeat the same old same old numerous times!
Main prize
One free entry to The WILD for a distance of your choice. Already entered? No worries, we've got your back! The winner will be refunded the entry fee if already entered by time the prize is drawn.
Monthly Instagram prize
Win a free WILD trucker cap for posting the best peak bagging pic on Instagram using #thewildchallenge24 and tagging @thewildepicmtruns and @wildthingsnz
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.
