Vertical Metres Climbed
In March next year, the Northpower Wild Kiwi will take you into one of the most scenic landscapes in New Zealand – the Whangarei Heads.
The Whangarei Heads is iconic New Zealand – you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere in the world quite like it. The views go for days and the trails will knock your running socks off!
Boasting what is quite possibly New Zealand’s toughest half marathon (plus some very achievable shorter distances), this event should absolutely rank high on your trail event bucket list.
So, to help you hit the hills, this challenge is short and sharp. Just two weeks long.
Every (almost, see * below) vertical metre you climb whilst running (walking or crawling) between Monday 3rd October and Sunday 16th October gets you an entry into the spot prize draw, and higher up the leaderboard.
* your run must contain at least 100m of elevation gain to count!
Thanks to the epic team at Total Sport, we have two free and two half price entries to any of the run events to give away.
Remember, these are spot prizes; anyone can win, so get involved!
If you're not one of the super lucky ones, you can still grab 10% off entry with your Wild Kiwi VIP Reward.
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.
