The trails we explore aren't just for running. Yes, flying down some single track is spectacularly fun, and running gets us places faster, but sometimes it's good just to take our time, and walk.
So, as we move into the colder, wetter months, whatever the weather, Merrell want to see you out there, walking, hiking, and tramping.
You don't need to be on a trail from our Trail Directory; anywhere counts, and as this is a distance challenge, the more distance you record on Strava while tramping, hiking, or walking the higher up the leaderboard you'll find yourself.
Only activities marked as Walk or Hike in Strava will count!
We have five $200 vouchers to spend on anything at merrell.co.nz up for grabs.
These will be awarded as spot prizes at the end of the challenge. Each point on the leaderboard gets you an entry in the spot prize draw, but remember, you could still win, even with just one point!
Oh, and remember, you can always grab 15% off anything at Merrell with our VIP Rewards!
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.
